More About Jackery AIR-W Wind Power Accessor
Jackery AIR-W is a portable wind power generator made for outdoor use. The device is composed of a wind rotor, a small generator and a stand, so assembly is simple. Carbon fiber thermoplastic composite keeps the structure light and improves strength and fatigue resistance. A dual motor layout raises the output to 200 watts and allows charging even when wind speed is low. Several units can be connected in parallel. Foldable post nails on the tripod are pressed into the soil to keep the generator stable in strong wind.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Jackery AIR-W is a light and portable wind power accessory.The product supports multi-unit parallel output, which has wider application scenarios than traditional wind power equipment.
- Inspiration
- This design is inspired by wind generator. This design changed traditional large wind generator into small and lightweight wind equipment, which is suitable for many electricity application scenarios such as outdoor travel of regular users and brings eco-friendly travels. As long as there is wind, it can convert it into electricity.
- Research
- Research goal: To design a popular, portable wind power generation equipment Research direction: Less dependence on climate, easy to carry Market research: Online research and data from professional research company Social impact: Using wind energy to charge energy storage products is a new breakthrough in exploring the efficient use of renewable and clean energy. It helped reduce carbon emissions and alleviate the environmental crisis.
- Challenge
- Major challenge: Dealing with different weather and climate issues Solution: The dual motor design is used to increase the output power, making the product less dependent on the climate, and can still output a sufficient amount of current even when the wind speed is low.
- Realization and Technology
- The product uses carbon fiber thermoplastic composite material to improve its strength and fatigue resistance and make it lighter. It reaches grade IP67. The tripod is built with foldable post nails for better reinforcement of the device to avoid the device from tipping over by high wind speed.
- Operation and Interaction
- After assembly, the product can be further stabilized by inserting the built-in foldable post nails into the soil. Connect the product and the power supply with a charging cable to use the electricity converted from the wind energy.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in 2022 in Shenzhen and finished in 2022.
- Specifications
- Composed of wind rotor, mini generator and stand, the product structure is simple and easy to assemble, which maximizes the portability of the product. The staggered arrangement of upper and lower blades minimizes the product height. The output power is 200W.
