Finding of the jury
The jury thought that this could be a very effective and useful way to generate power. They were impressed by the complete design, function and level of efficiency. It’s a very attractive idea deployed in a very simple, elegant form with its curved blades. It is compact, simple and easy to fold. Jurors stated that this also has potential for other applications in daily life. Moreover, it would be helpful in many situations, not just at campsites or in emergencies.
They felt the product conveys awareness and puts users in charge of their own electricity needs. It provides them with greater flexibility to generate power without requiring any other means.
The jury found that it was an interesting way of thinking, having one small generator for one small purpose. They felt that the direction, in which this product is headed, is very promising and makes a lot of sense.
