"The Shine Turbine kit comes with everything you need -- the turbine, a stand, guy lines, pegs, and cables. Setting up the first few times took a bit longer than I expected, especially if you're trying to do it while it's blowing a gale. But as with most things, it does get easier with practice.

"There's also a knack to setting the guy lines out effectively, which took me a while to figure out -- a process that would have been a lot faster had I read the manual -- because I found the setup all shaky the first few times. But once you get it figured out, it's very robust. Once set up, you have options. You can let the turbine charge up the internal battery and then use that to charge your devices,"
Solar generators underperform during prolonged cloudy periods, prompting attention toward wind power for charging smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices. The Shine Turbine kit includes the turbine, a stand, guy lines, pegs, and cables. Initial setup can take longer than expected, especially in strong winds, and effective guy-line arrangement benefits from practice and reading the manual. Once assembled correctly the system becomes robust. The turbine can charge an internal battery or supply a power bank directly; using separate power banks at base camp preserves the turbine reserve for calm days. The turbine is effective but has output limitations.
