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: http://...
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.
i tell you but nevermind your so far off on crude and big, is nice you do this but and works but is crude. less is more, energy you should put out get twice back and in the bridge you did not,, well frequency the wind and need no wind can make wind where there is no wind no resinense of there of a pulse of pure, very simple i cant say more, this wind and all is a funny thing is old old tech think is new lol so funny, energy from thin air no air this is old tech like 70 years ago

The 'Sail Surfboard' was granted a patent, it was vigorously enforced. OK to make your own Sailsurfer, but not to market them!:-(Then one dude started marketing Sail Surfboards without paying royalties. The Lawyers pounced like wolves!
He just laughed all the way to court, over the years he had collected travel brochures, magazines etc. from prior to the Patent Application, clearly showing sails on surfboards. Patent claims are broad, exposure of 'Prior Art' limits the patent's scope!;-)

Buat as the usan wants all the credits for all, they claim it as their invention

I halted this video at 07:24, where the cost constraint was $10.In 1990, at the Glastonbury International Arts Festival, a 'Wigwam' harmonic oscilation belt turbine was demonstrated. The components were as follows:-
(1) A Pole (2) A plastic 'Hoola Hoop' (3) Ribbons (4) Pegs (Skewars/Tent Pegs) (5) Magnets inside coils [inside 'Hoola Hoop'] (6) Super-Capacitors (instead of batteries)
Power generation functions like the ubiquious shake-torches. 'Hoola' half way up 'wigwam' ;-)

Physics is physics. Any freshman can use what they know to show on paper that this idea is lame. Please educate yourselves in the basics first. This is most important. Creative thinking and breaking out of the mold still requires legitimate knowledge about nature.

lol cool video! my names Trinity, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ FriendlyFlirts(.COM) __ my user ID there is Trinity_cdwfgltws chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah

Congratulations, it's a very good idea. I don't speak English, and I couldn't understand all the exposition. How can I get this conference in written? I live in a developing country, I'm interesting in this sistem for Colombia.Thank you very much Shawn.

Sounds like a twist on a wave generator, brilliant :)

Has using pizo crystals been attempted? THey make electricity when stressed/moved...

Once again I feel like such an idiot. I thought of this when I was around 12 while riding a bike with a very fat rubber band stretched across my handlebars. It made a sweet bass note when I pedaled fast. About a week later I imagined something similar to this in my head. Thats my problem, I have literal volumes of ideas written down over the last 8-15 years and I never tell anyone about them. Ill likely die with a few very good ideas in an old sketchbook never to be seen again. Great vid!
