“Open Source, 3D Printed, Mobile Wind Turbine”
“First mobile green energy generator that you can carry camping with you! A 3D printed, foldable wind turbine boosting 300W of power!”
Personally I’m not rushing to contribute to their KickStarter campaign.
that is 300 watts at maximum winds the turbine can withstand. In light winds you will get nothing to very little. In a forested campsite you would need a tower that would extend above the trees. The generator of the turbine and the tower account for most of the weight.
300W light weight turbins are already on the market:

At 6Kg (13.2lbs) excluding the tower it is still a bit heavy. Add a tower and you will quickly pass 20 lbs.
