micro version is possible let’s not get stuck on wind alone there is always something else to make it possible. It’s always the heat factor we have to think about. More heat more energy lot.
I love making friends with people with strange & wonderful ideas(technology) that lay people find it too radical.Bcoz to me these people would one day shape the way the future world works…:-)
What if a very large one was anchored to the ground and the other end to a kite or glider up really high in the strong wind. Just a thought.
i know you could seriously just tune the strips to the wind, they will have resonant frequencies, just like tesla coils but like u said like a guitar.
– 5 mile per hour or small wind strip
—-10 mile per hour strip or larger wind
————-30 mile per hour largest wind area
ive seen tie down equipment used to tie objects to trucks, do this in the wind. never though how powerful it could really be. thats what i went for when i made the tesla panel, simplicity
the principle is the same of an electric guitar’s pickup..if you play all the strings on a guitar it will outputs something around 0.5 volts..the windbelt is just one string..anyway..varying dimensions it can achieve from 0.5 to “N” volts.the vibration must be calibrated on the wind speed usage of choice to make it resonate,so providing the best efficiency.A lower wind or a higher one will not make it works well..btw..the minimum speed may be a light breeze as a windstorm..depends on the setup
What is the minimum wind speed required to achieve the flutter effect and start generating a current? What are the out puts of the devices shown on the related videos?
good one
