a new product from Canadian company Aurea, is a portable wind turbine, 
perfect for long hikes, weathering blackouts, and more. It’s *small 
enough to fit in a backpack, weighs less than three pounds, and is able 
to charge any USB device*. Shine launched on Kickstarter last year and 
on Indiegogo in April, with plans to start shipping models out in time 
for the summer camping season.

Aurea founder Cat Adaley said that because it’s largely being marketed 
to backpackers and other outdoor lovers, the mini turbine’s light weight 
was its most important aspect. “People said, ‘We won’t carry it if it 
weighs more than three pounds,’” she explained. “*Every design feature 
was weighed*.” It’s also designed to be user friendly, and can be set up 
similarly to a tent: the collapsible tripod gets driven into the ground, 
and the foldable turbine blades placed on top. If you’re thinking of 
going off the grid anytime soon but still want your phone close by, the 
Shine could be your perfect solution.
