The power of flutter
Passed along to me by greenmesh reader KenBob:
Wind Belts are micro wind generators that use a property known as aerolastic flutter. Energy of the wind is converted by vibration akin to the bow of a musical instrument; converting the power of a wind tension membrane. No bearings to suck energy, wind power machines are 10 times cheaper to produce than turbines according to the video below. (Popular Mechanics)
