Portable Wind Energy Turbines Are Here…Seriously

This is the background on the inventors as well as initial specs:

The brainchild of Einar and Agust Agustsson, two brothers from Iceland, the Trinity is said to be the first personal-sized wind turbine to hit the market, although there’s at least one other that we’re aware of.

Depending on your power needs, it seems there’s a Trinity turbine to fit the bill. The smallest model, the Trinity 50, weighs just 650 grams and easily fits inside your backpack, being just 30 cm tall when collapsed. It generates 50 watts, and its 7,500mAh Lithium-ion battery stores enough power to recharge a smartphone three or four times. It can also be used to help power a tablet or notebook.

Would you take this on a hike or use it at home?  The applications are incredible and we’re looking forward to further iterations from this team.
