Shine Turbine Review
The best I got the setup time for the Shine Turbine was about ten minutes. Also, taking the turbine down involves carefully packing the guy lines away so as not to make the next setup a painful one. But despite the downsides, the Shine Turbine is a great way to harvest power from Mother Nature when you are away from an AC outlet.
- Setup time: ~10 minutes
- Down‑packing requires careful handling of guy lines
