Hymini Deluxe Wind and Solar Power Generation Kit . This Deluxe package come with the capability to collect power from A/C, USB, Solar and Wind sources. A 1200mAh rechargeable battery is built in. Also has build in LED lights to function as a mini flashlight.
The USB port on the side of the Hymini can be used to recharge the Hymini internal battery or in 'reverse' to charge USB compatible devices like iPod, Cell / Mobile phones, GPS or other devices.
The Hymini USB 2.0 output is 5V max and between 200mA ~ 850mA depending on the device. The side of the Hymini has a switch with 3 positions:
1. Charge (accept power charge), 2. LED Flashlight Mode 3. Battery (provide power to devices)
The Hymini has a built in wind power generator. It starts generating power at wind speeds of 10MPH or more (max 40MPH) and serves to top off the batteries or maintain full charge. That is right --- your own portable wind power farm! A green light in the fan housing indicates wind speed is sufficient to supply a charge.
Each solar panel (one included in kit) provides a charge rate of 140mAh at 5.0V (0.7 Watts) in full sun. Additional (optional) Solar panels can be connected in series (up to 4 for for 560mAH) to increase the charging rate. The solar panels are specially constructed using lightweight panels and a sturdy, yet ultralight cardboard/foam - to create a compact, efficient, lightweight form factor that is perfect for backpackers. Small and Light.

Note for Motorola Droid Users: Some of our staffers own them. Droids will not charge from this device. Droid demands USB 2.0 and 500mAh and simply ignores USBs that do not provide that.
Interestingly, we have a MOTO adapter for the Hand Crank Charger that is an option for the Hymini Kit. We have been able to charge the Motorola Droid with that adapter.
