i don't get how is the poster of this video is related to czech reepublic,because that's the national emblem in his avatar.

Because that is who I am (CZECH), not all that I am.

[benboarder09]

any updates on this?

re: tuning to wind speed -- would be reasonably easy to adaptively tune the tension in the strips. Would cost a bit more than $2-5, but not that much if electronics were made in quantity

Re: scaling up to larger sizes The slick part is the(I suspect) inventor's intuitive realization that the best solution changes if you move to a different regime of Reynolds number.

Think "science says bumble bees can't fly," this is true, in terms of Reynolds number, bees don't fly - they swim)

Please post url to details on how to build one of these ;)

How does he tune it to resonate at the constantly changing wind speed? What minimum wind speeds are we looking at? haha.. I WANT SOME FIGURES!

[myprimemover]

At least you are thinking, but this is bogus science. On a large scale, no way.

[jsugar72]

well done - very creative. What is the intellectual property status. Patent that thing quick...

[sapper680]

Cool. Does your prototype rotate to turn with the wind?

[Neo1ehT]

Awesome! If only we would use this and other clean energies the planet would be a much better place. But a group of rich fat pigs would not like the idea of FREE energy now would they? heh.

Nice concept. Wonder if you could also add the coils and magnets to both sides of the belt. Then for more power, several of those units hooked up in parallel will give you more amperage. Series and parallel for more voltage and amperage as you would connect with batteries and solar panels. Great idea! Keep it up.

he appeared to be lighting 2- 1 watt leds not sure though
