Kinesis K2 swings both ways, powering you with sun and wind

kinesis-K2-CES01.jpg

Kinesis Industries debuted its 2-in-1 handheld recharger here at CES, putting solar and wind power generation together in one rugged package.

It has the largest battery capacity of its competitors, with one fully charged K2 able to rejuice a typical cell phone 5 times over; just one hour of wind or sun will give you 30 minutes on the phone. LED lights on the side let you know just how much charge you have left.

You can stand up the K2 or leave it on its side for optimal sun exposure, and a clip in the bottom allows it to hang from your car, bike or ATV an recharge with wind. It comes with a built-in USB port, and a convenient screwcap on the bottom hides all the additional adaptors you need.

The K2 will retail for around $100.

I wonder what would happen if you super-size it and put it in the vehicle grill area?

The Hymini isn't very good compared to this thing and its been upgraded to the K3 with more durability and it can also be charged through the wall for a quick charge for later use.
