То use renewable energy is a challenge for many of us. Despite the rapid fall of solar panels price, solar power is not available to many – there are a lot of eco-conscious people who do not have a a space to install them. Wind energy is another option in many areas, but there is still a problem if the person does not have land on which to install big wind turbines. Janulus, a Minnesota company that works on creating a weather dependant and portable wind turbines, recently launched a campaign on Kickstarter to raise funds to finance four new easy to use models, exquisitely designed for renewable energy and ease of use.

The company has developed 4 different models of its portable Trinity wind turbine series with a capacity of 50, 400, 1000 and 2500 watts. The turbines rely on 7500 300 000 mAh lithium-ion batteries, depending on the model. The smallest of wind turbines weighs just 1.4 kg. This makes it really portable in the strict sense of the word. Even the largest model does collect in the trunk of a car. Furthermore, the turbines are equipped with two different types of blades, so that the user can “personalize” the models and to take advantage of the high and low wind conditions.
