Portable Wind Generator Micro Wind Turbine produces energy 24/7

Micro Wind Turbine - is a portable power source for travelers who are away from civilization and can not charge your USB-device from the wall outlet. The gadget weighs less than a kilogram, folded to the size of trekking poles and can operate around the clock.

Electronics - an integral part of every day of our lives, including outdoor activities. Gadgets help in navigation, record scientific facts or help out with rescue operations. However, the more we hide from the city, the harder it is to maintain the life of electronic devices. Typically, the problem is solved by the solar panels, but their performance is entirely dependent on weather conditions and enough light.

This is not hearsay knows Ferb Nils (Nils Ferbe), a graduate of art school in Renan, Switzerland. Designer several times went on long hikes and constantly wondering how to charge gadgets professional mountaineers and expedition members. Couple of calls revealed the secret: in remote areas, they use solar batteries. At the same time due to the lack of light sometimes people are left without a source of energy for several days in a row.

Disappointing comments Niels prompted to create a miniature wind turbine, which is enough power to charge smartphones and other electronics.

The idea, of course, can not be considered innovative, but its execution, according to the creator, has no analogues. The weight of the wind turbine is about 900 grams, which is 40% lighter than its closest competitor. Folded Micro Wind Turbine able to compare the length of the ski stick. With the deployment and installation of the gadget can handle any person who is, how to open an umbrella.

The blades Micro Wind Turbine catch even slight movement of air masses thus can expect to work without interruption. The turbine generates electric current 5 watts at a wind speed of 18 km / h, which is enough to charge the cell phone. Built-in battery for 24 Vt⋅ch stores energy in reserve.

Niels says that such decisions can not be found for sale. Comparable concept, usually consists of a plurality of complicated parts, they are heavier and show negligible efficiency. It is not surprising that these disadvantages do such devices useless in real life situations.

However, Micro Wind Turbine just can not buy. The author has created a working prototype, but has no means to launch it into mass production. For investors Niels went to the rich United Arab Emirates - the exhibition Dubai Design Week art design. We hope that the project will find strong support there.
