US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science V
The Windbelt
The fifth wind energy innovation to come out of the USA!
5. Windbelt:
What It Is:
The Windbelt, created by PM Breakthrough Award Winner, Shawn Frayne, is a small-scale wind turbine that can generate 40 milliwatts in 10-mph winds and only costs a couple of dollars. The goal is to help the poor power their lights cheaply and safely.
How It Works:
A pair of magnets fitted on a membrane oscillate between two wire coils to generate electricity.
Where To Find It:
This wind turbine is aimed at Third World countries, with installations in Haiti and Guatemala.
