I found this video article while stumbling and was interested by the title alone. It talks about the newest advancement towards energy generators.
In the beginning of the video, the generator is shown powering an led light by a fan. Rather then being a turbine, it waves and creates electricity.
The largest benefit of the wind belt is that it is relatively easy to make. The belt is made of a material used in making kites.
It is important to our society because rather then everyone focusing on shrinking down the turbine, we can use these belts and create a more efficient energy source.
Imagine having the belts set up on the top of buildings. As the wind will blow through the belt, electricity will be generated. It may not power an entire building, but there is still power being supplied. Another idea is using it with transportation. Most of us have put our arms out of the window of a moving car and felt the wind rushing by. Now, imagine a small belt in the grill of a car, or on the roof, or even a spoiler. It should be able to help provide energy to the car while it is moving.
Watch the video below and tell me what you think!

I love this new energy source.
I posted about turbines in my most recent post.
You should check it out.
That is really cool! Are you going to make one? 2-5 dollars is pretty cheap for renewable energy!
That's really great! What a good idea.
