There are so many devices around that let us charge our gadgets on the go but this wind turbine idea is unique. I can just imagine the second version will come with an optional cap mount clip. 🙂
“The prototype, which weighs just 150g and can be mounted on a tent. The unit is designed to generate and store power during the day to allow charging in the evening.

This is nice.
Btw, I am planning to build one for my home. For the time being, I hope to get something like 0.5KW.
I live in Pakistan so many parts are not available here or are very expensive.. and i’ve never built something like this before.
Any ideas/links etc?
