This is another ingenious idea of how to do wind power effectively. The design uses flutter - you know, the kind of movement that collapsed the Tacoma Bridge when it resonated with the wind? Anyway, it's inexpensive, has few moving parts, and works on a micro-scale - all of which make it ideal for the developing world.
I don't know how I got lucky enough to stumble across this design, but boy am I glad I did!

Welcome to the Social Surplus - or rather, welcome to how I have chosen to use part of mine. I focus on the issues I feel are important: energy, the environment, the economy, and anything else I find hidden on the internet that seems interesting.
