New Wind Power - The Wind Belt Invention


Shawn Frayne invented an inexpensive non turbine wind generator called the wind belt. I have no specs other than what you see on the video. I imagine it's use on the roof of an electric car but obviously it can be used anywhere there is wind. The bennefit is that it is very inexpensive to build as opposed to a standard turbine wind generator.The fan simulates the wind which moves the belt which moves the magnets through the coils to make electricity to power the clock and LEDs. I don't know how much the output voltage is.

The rest is battling friction and wind resistance. It's a novel approach, but there is no way to use a bouncing electromagnet to actually propel a car. The cross-sectional wind velocity is 'generated' by the car. The energy harvested from the wind generated by the car can, in no way, propel the car forward to create more cross-sectional wind.

DaVinci tried this. :)

At first, I thought that the power was generated by the fan going between/disrupting electromagnets. (walks away pondering to self)

I'm not so sure it would take that much to run a car. Currently the amount of fuel used to propel a car forward is something like 1% of the gas you put into your tank; if that's true, then this gadget, or multiple ones used to power a cars motor isn't that far off. With all technology (Including this device) there is always room for improvement.

It would take gale force winds to power a car at a reasonable speed using this technology. After all costs of manufacturing and maintenance of the units are taken into account. It would have been more efficient to attach a sail and a mast. There's your technical details.
