Frequent power outages or even no electricity have left the people's necessary living conditions in rural areas of Africa backward. Many frequently-used electrical products donated by other regions have thus become useless. Kite-Power is both a kite for entertainment and a power storage device. It converts the wind energy into electricity from flying a kite and stores power in the handle during the day. At night, it can power small desk lamps, fans and other products.
