Microwind Generator For Low Power Systems

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the welcome-to-sunday dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to say that "Shawn Frayne, has developed Windbelt, efficient, cheap lowpower wind generator built out of taut kite fabric." Everyone has seen the video where the suspension bridge is ripped apart by wind- his idea was to use the same thing to generate power. I doubt I'll be running my desktop off it any time soon, but it's a cool idea.

    The cost of that cleanup, of course, will be borne by taxpayers, not industry.
