Harnessing nature’s power

The Shine 2.0 is capable of generating up to 50 watts of power, enough to charge your phone in just 17 minutes if it catches a 28-mph wind. For laptops, it can recharge them in under two hours. Even in lighter winds, the Shine 2.0 will keep working, although at slower speeds. It has a built-in 12,000-mAh Li-ion battery to store the power it generates, meaning you can charge your devices even when the wind dies down.
