great for bikers August 19, 2008

This windmill is small, very light and portable and is easy to attach to a bike. It's very low drag and will generate power as you cycle, or if you leave your bike parked in a windy spot. There's a battery built in, which is what actually charges your phone or other device, so you don't need to worry about intermittent wind killing your cell battery. You can also attach solar panels, AC power or any other source to charge the internal battery, which makes his a great choice for off-the-grid activities.
The arm band attachment doesn't work very well, though and the LEDs built in aren't enough to light very much. Also, the version I bought almost a year ago doesn't have a USB input or an adapter cable for input, which means that you will need to make a cable if you want to attach anything other than a standard accessory. (This still gives you wind, AC and solar.)
I got a USB AA/AAA battery charger to plug into mine, so it can charge everything I bring on a bike tour. I've yet to work out a good way to attach it to my tent, though. I have faith this will work out great when I finally get to go touring with it. Everyplace that I camped last august has enough wind to charge 100 cell phones with just one of these.
