The Hymini is a handheld wind power generator. There is also an optional solar panel that can be used with it. The company behind both products claims in recharge personal electronic products such as cell phones and MP3 players. The devices look reasonably priced. The wind generator is US$49.95 and the solar panel is $24.99. If you want to make a fashion statement, they also provide an armband for the wind generator. Hmm. There’s a bicycle bracket too.
The hurricane season will be upon us in a few months. And, I suspect we may have more brownouts that usual this summer. These gadgets look pretty interesting. Has anyone tried them out? Any comments?

Its a good device but rather than depending on wind for such a small scale power I would prefer hand cranking.
Hi,
well, I never heard of these gadgets…seems they are gone from the market? (now its 2010)…
I found this site doing some research on Solar Powered Generator – A good step towards Solar Power for Homes?…
Any news on these smaller solar power generators?
Thank you
Daniel
