Looks interesting.

It's not in production yet but the idea looks like it might be a winner for batteries used in a GPS, camera or a flashlight.

hmmm, maybe, but don't we usually try to put the tent kinda sheltered from the wind?  I could see this propped and weighed down out on a point to catch the breeze.  Of course the weight of the unit would have to be less than the weight of extra batteries.

Reminds me of beany caps with a propeller in cartoons I watched as a kid.  Unit tips and you have tent coleslaw LOL

Tent coleslaw, heehee!

Looks neat and looks a whole lot lighter than a solar system.  Set it up in the canoe & charge as you travel!
