The carbon fiber and aluminum Eolic portable wind turbine is the concept of designers Marcos Madia, Sergio Ohashi and Juan Manuel Pantano.  The whole deal folds-up into an easily transportable, vacuum cleaner-like cylinder.  The telescoping tower lets it reach skyward to where the wind is strongest.

With natural disasters on everyone’s minds the idea of a relatively lightweight, portable windpower generator is very compelling.  Remember this is just a concept – but one that just might have legs.
