When exploring for extended periods of time in nature, it is a frustrating – yet inevitable – happening for one’s cell phone to lose battery power. Not only can this be frustrating, but it can also be dangerous if you befall trouble while adventuring alone.

For 16-year-old Thomas, his  habit of cycling in nature often leaves him with an uncharged cell phone. To remedy the issue, the brilliant teen decided to invent an all-in-one wind turbine power bank. 

For sale on Ebay, a product like this costs over $112. But As Thomas shared on Instructables, you can create your own for as little as $5.

Some rudimentary knowledge and skill working with electronics is required, but if you have the tools and confidence, you can follow Thomas’ clear instructions and develop your own in no time!
