Wind Power Revolution

WIND POWER REVOLUTION

Ever considered having a wind turbine? What if you were told you could build your own device to harness the wind power which were ten to thirty times more efficient and cheaper than building your own wind turbine?

Basically, when the wind goes through a membrane that is attached to two magnets on both its extreme ends, the ressonance on the membrane increases its vibrations, making the magnets move up and down next to electromagnetic coils, therefore inducing current in the wires that make up the coil.

A new upgraded device, recently developed, is now 100 times more efficient than before, generating between 3 to 10 watts in power at around $2 per watt. Frayne is hoping these kind of technological solutions will help overcome many energy problems in developing countries.

Hayden, thanks for posting this video.

It looks like a great idea.

I was hoping for more details- how much wind ~ how much output?

Regardless ... imagine the upkeep costs.

What upkeep costs? Looks pretty damned simple. More so than the one kw windmills I have the plans for. And far cheaper, also. These people don't need the wattage the we do, just enough to run a led light and a small radio is a vast improvement in their lives.

thnx. Sounds like oit might be good. Sounds better suited for small-scale, though (several on the roof of a house or something). That's, good though, we need to move away from a centralized power grid.
