The Portable Wind Turbine

Portable wind turbine: In 2020, the global renewable energy market was valued at $881 billion and was expected to reach $1,977.6 billion by 2030, growing at a rate of 8.4% from 2021 to 2030. The market is enormous, and there is no doubt that it will keep growing as the world’s population demands cleaner and smarter solutions for their energy needs.

Huge energy companies, such as Shell, Total, GE Renewables, and more, have also changed their traditional mindset to meet this new demand. However, it is not only big business that is leading the way. There is an increasing market for unique climate startups and bespoke renewable energy ideas that spark the market’s creativity. After all, this is a global problem that needs creative global solutions through collaborative and open-minded processes.

The renewable energy revolution is here, and there is no doubt about that. With climate change becoming an increasing problem for global communities and cities looking for innovative ideas to increase clean energy sources, startups and individuals have grown new ideas, for example, according to the not-for-profit company London & Partners and Dealroom.Co, a data provider on startups, highlights that the San Francisco Bay Area, which is very established, has the most significant climate startup ecosystem, valued at a whopping $941 billion. In addition, there are 416 climate tech companies in London—the most significant cluster in Europe. It is “one of the world’s most advanced ecosystems for climate tech, with its startups raising $3.3 billion since 2016, accounting for 16% of Europe’s total,” the report states.

Portable wind turbine: Startups have the power to change the world, one-step at a time, and this startup called Shine Turbine is one example of that. Shine Turbine is a unique and compact renewable energy product the size of a water bottle, and it can fit into your backpack! It has a beautiful design, and an easy to use assembly system, which takes about two minutes to fully assemble, and making sure it doesn’t have any random loose parts to lose. It weighs under three pounds, and is small but very durable because it’s made for your long outdoor adventures.

Since it has to be very flexible and efficient, Shine Turbine made sure to create a turbine that works even with minimal amounts of wind. You can power it day and night, from a gentle breeze of 8 mph up to winds of 28 mph.

This startup has been very successful and has received great feedback. Some product reviews have mentioned that “Shine’s ability to create power is incredible! Shine is incredibly small and light for its charging abilities”, and “The way the entire setup stores inside the turbine itself means that everything I need is contained neatly in one little unit. A ‘grab & go’ solution to my charging needs off-grid!” Shine’s technology is innovative, and they are working to create a patent for this specific technology. It makes energy faster than any other portable renewable product worldwide.

Portable wind turbine: The fully folded length is 35 cm, and the folded width is 10cm. When assembled, the blade diameter is 60 cm, and the mountable height is 91.4 cm. The power rating is 40 watts, and the internal battery is 5V, 12,000 mAh. For extreme adventurers, in extreme temperatures, the turbine can be used in 0-degree temperatures and a maximum of 40 Celsius.

The future holds many exciting moments for sustainable innovation and renewable energy startups. Products like the Shine Turbine will become more and more common in the coming years. People will look for alternative energy sources, especially on the move and off the grid. Why would you have an extremely loud, heavy, and polluting petrol generator, for example, when you could have a quiet, light, and efficient wind turbine or solar panel? Well, let’s see what the future holds.

My name is Jeremy Robson and I have lived in five different countries so far, which I'm sure will keep increasing. I was born in the UK, but quickly moved to Tanzania for two years, the Czech Republic for 18 years, The Netherlands for four years, and now currently France. I consider myself European. I love extreme sports, and anything to do with the outdoors. I also love documentary filmmaking and journalism. I am always exploring news stories, and investigating what's behind them. I speak fluent Czech and some Spanish, and I want to focus on French and German now. My fun fact is that I used to be a child actor and play in movies such as The Brothers Grimm with Heath Ledger and Matt Damon.
