WATERLILY turbine portable electricity

https://www.waterlilyturbine.com

For 24/7 water & wind. Anyone have experience with the USB 5V or 12V versions? Considering direct bundle purchase for daily touring & everyday needs in windy hills & creek and river valley locations.

So, what, you would use this at lunch or the end of the day to charge stuff up again after you are done riding?

That's an interesting idea. I would be interested in seeing a trip report if someone used this touring

Figured I'd recharge a larger battery at night to power my smaller devices during the day similar to what I do with my solar panel now. I can hand crank it too.

They had a sale so for $180 & no tax ordered the bundled 12v waterlilyturbine.com to charge my Jackery Explorer 160 167Wh battery when its convenient. Now my folding rig setup uses free carbon neutral energy like solar wind hydro biomass hand-cranking. Still pay for some fossil fuel.
