We have a fully functional windbelt, at Open Garage #5 on 22 Dec 2011. Some rare earth magnets were stuck to some video tape. The video tape vibrates up and down because of the fan, moving the magnets in and out of a coil, generating a little bit of current. A rectifier makes sure we get some light out of an LED. We had an output of over 2V.
