Windbelt Cheap Generator Alternative
BackGoogle Tech Talks
December, 12 2007
ABSTRACT
Shawn Frayne, a 28 year old inventor based in Mountain View, will talk about his wind belt. This is a power generation device, that is low cost and consists of a membrane that resonates like a guitar string, with a pair of magnets that oscillate between coils.
There was a story recently in Popular Mechanics - watch the video at:
Speaker: Shawn Frayne
Shawn is the inventor of the core wind generator technology on which Humdinger is founded. Previous to his involvement with Humdinger, Shawn successfully matured two technologies, in the fields of "green" packaging and water disinfection, from concepts into developed products in pre-production. He established a strong intellectual property base surrounding those technologies and in early 2006 sold substantial rights to a Fortune 500 company. He is presently involved with refining the manufacturing processes of those products in facilities that have been built overseas.
He is also part of an on-going effort established four years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop low-cost technologies by which entrepreneurs in Haiti can transform agricultural wastes into saleable cooking fuel.
Shawn has six pending U.S. patents. He has his Bachelor of Science in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

This would be cool to let you know what the wind is like outside. Attach to a baffle in drive way can alert the deaf of possible visitor. Attach to air/weight under window in ground to set off alarm on home alarm weight rated 80lbs or more to prevent small animal false alerts. Integrate to alarm interior to sound alert and prevent most would be intruders from attempting a break-in. Under lawn crook steps on lawn alarm sends audible signal you have been photographed and police see you now.

I wonder how much electricity can be produced by catching bugs with a sticky pad on your generator. Catch locust or what ever I am sure they struggle for quite a while. Can this be used to generate in freeway areas where cars are generating a constant wind? Ground tremors induced by traffic could that be generated too. Hey sub 100w that can power the cheap computer, led lighting, radio. Besides we use transformers to drop voltage to 9v 4.5 many items in the home are powered in this range.

Please refrain from comments until you can communicate in a responsible and respectable manner. Also, use a dictionary at all times.

Did you consider the idea to build a frame of enough belts like this - you should know how many are required- in order to be mounted in front of a radiator in a vehicle and the power harvested to run a HHO generator?
