For the users that engage in outdoor activities, like camping, <em>Shine <\/em>is best suited for replenishing their small devices: phones, cameras, laptops, lights. Direct access is made possible due to the usb port installed on the side of the turbine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regards to materiality, <em>Shine <\/em>is composed of aircraft-grade aluminum and injection-molded, polycarbonate-reinforced plastic. A built-in heat dissipator was incorporated as well. The aggregate of these components results in a product with the durability to last in harsh weather conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shine\u2019s <\/em>extensive<em> <\/em>storage capabilities are especially impressive due to its relatively small stature. If my wearable solution orientated towards a rehydration method, that would require some form of storage for whatever substance is resupplying the body fluid. That storage unit must not interfere with the athletes movements. It\u2019s possible that a compact form could accomplish this goal. However, the key is in designing an efficient storage system. The limited space would equate to limited substance. Similar to the internal battery found in the turbine, the rehydration system requires a powerful storage cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Padla, Rei. \u201cShine Turbine Is One Compact and Portable Wind Energy Generator &#8211; Yanko Design.\u201d <em>Yanko Design &#8211; Modern Industrial Design News<\/em>, 11 May 2022, https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/03\/shine-turbine-is-one-compact-and-portable-wind-energy-generator\/.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary The Canadian based company, Aurea, have recently developed the Shine Turbine as a means to provide convenient, clean energy.
