Shine portable wind turbine generates power from wind, anywhere

The Shine portable wind turbine is a wind generator to make use of renewable energy anywhere with a built-in 12,000mAh battery to charge devices plus USB ports and more.

Most renewable energy devices are batteries using solar power, but the Shine portable wind turbine is clearly a little different. It’s a 40-watt portable turbine that generates electricity through wind — the wind moves the turbine and it charges a 12,000mAh battery. It also collapses down to the size of your average water bottle, weighing just three pounds. Plus, it’s water-resistant with an IP54 rating. You can toss it in a backpack and take it with you camping or while out exploring to power your gear.

It also offers dual USB A and USB Micro B ports for charging devices directly. As long as you have a USB-A to USB-C cable, which most mobile devices come with, you can charge those, too. A built-in LED shows the battery state, power output when something is plugged in, brake and current temperature. It’s capable of generating power at wind speeds of eight to 28 miles-per-hour.

Why would you use the Shine portable wind turbine?

Imagine you’re out camping, or, even in your backyard, and you need to generate some power. You could lug a power bank or power station out there, or you could refer to something like the Shine. It’s especially handy in remote locations where you want to carry or pack minimal gear to reduce total carrying weight. It comes with a mount, ground pegs and guide wires. You just install the turbine, make sure there’s a nice breeze and let it do it’s thing.

It offers unlimited renewable power anywhere. Not to mention, the internal battery charges while the turbine is moving to store excess energy. You can use it when you stop for a snack or water break. Set it up outdoors while you’re doing some yardwork, or lakeside while doing some fishing. It’s your choice. It’s also hassle-free and sets up in about two minutes. You can use it anywhere there’s wind.

With moderate wind speeds about 18 miles per hour, you can charge a phone in about one hour and 20 minutes or a camera battery in about one hour and 39 minutes. With high wind speeds at 28 miles per hour consistently, you can charge a phone in 20 minutes or the camera in 28 minutes. Pretty impressive, honestly. If there’s no wind or the breeze is light, you can rely on the internal battery. Just keep in mind we’re probably talking about older smartphones, not the newer fast-charging variety with large batteries like the Galaxy S25 or newer Pixel devices.

The next-generation Shine 2.0 is also on its way soon with fast-charging and USD-C PD.
