A company from California has developed a solution that promises to generate clean energy in more remote places, such as beaches and campsites. It is a portable wind turbine that weighs less than 5 kg.

the californian company Jackery developed equipment that works like a portable wind turbine, designed to transform external wind energy into electrical energy anytime and anywhere. The equipment has a power of 200 W and weighs less than 5 kg.

The technology called Jackery Air-W works as a continuous power supply for a variety of energy storage power supplies. The dual engine design makes full use of all the wind speed to generate enough power, while the staggered structure of the upper and lower blades can allow height flexibility.

The tripod is designed with folding pegs to ensure a stronger structure, expanding the Jackery Air-W's stability in high winds. To make the maintenance of portable wind turbine easier, the IP67 material is dustproof as well as waterproof too helping to contribute to the portable nature of the product.

Company differential and state-of-the-art technology

When compared to traditional wind power generation equipment, the California company's new equipment can adapt to a wider range of application scenarios and provide a new design direction for portable wind generation equipment.

Founded in 2012, the company offers a range of portable wind power generators and versatile that meets all outdoor demands, from charging a cell phone or laptop to powering large devices such as electrical kitchen equipment, lights and heaters.

Recently, the company received the famous Red Dot: Best of the Best award for its portable wind turbine design. The worldwide prize pool is highly competitive and awarded only to the best items in each category. The company has yet to announce when the Jackery Air-W will hit the market and how much it will cost. However, it is already possible to find portable solar generators produced by them for sale on their website.

Solutions for those who want something more sophisticated

For those who want something portable and lightweight, an Indian startup, called Avant Garde Innovations, has developed a low-cost power generator and can be a great solution for families that do not have access to the electricity grid or even for those who no longer want to depend on public energy supply.

Called Avatar, this small wind turbine of approximately 3 meters is ideal for homes, rural areas and commercial properties. The equipment has the capacity to generate about 5 kWh per day.

The company also offers other models of wind turbines sold by the company, one weighing 90 kg and 4,26 m in diameter, which produces 15 kWh and another larger one with 4,87 m in diameter, weighing 100 kg, which can produce 25 kWh. Always taking into account the wind speed of 5,5 m/s.

Canadian company develops portable wind turbine for camping

Shine, a Canadian company, has developed a portable wind turbine that can be carried in a backpack, weighing about 1,3 kg. The energy turbine was named Shine Turbine and is intended to serve travelers, campers or even nomads.

O equipment has a low power of 40 W and must carry electronic devices such as GPS, phones, laptops, flashlights and among others.

According to the company, in just one hour the portable wind turbine can capture enough energy to charge three smartphones simultaneously, in various types of weather conditions. Shine also points out that mastering the elements is not easy, but the turbine is robust and stands out in the generation of wind energy in remote locations.
