Overview: The Electrical Long Linear Inductor Wind Power Generator is able to transduce the oscillatory and vibrational nature of wind into a useable electric current. Utilizing a simple magnetic inductor pickup system and a thin, lightweight frame, it can be set up in minutes by anyone, in urban or rural/remote areas.

Hi, dear doyebuehler I congratulate you for your contribution of an idea to produce electricity other than using fossil fuel.
I my self have patent in a modular Wind Tower to generate electric power in big scale, using my invention in high rise buildings all over the world. My design is compose of multimodular units superimpose one over another to form a Wind Tower, that is architecturally compatible with the structure in question and
esthetically acceptable to the viewer. Also can be used in a wind farm field to supply a City, hear is an article I recently wrote:
Many patents has been filed for wind mills; but this is the only one, unique, revolutionary and
effectively way of catching the wind power to being used to convert wind energy in electricity in big quantity or any rotating force needed. We could make a wind farm generating millions of watts of electricity free of pollution with the Wind Mill Tower you can build a tower as tall as the
Umpire State building, operating day or night in any weather condition.
This is part of the solution to liberate us from fossil fuel dependency, and in part of keeping our planet free of pollutant gases emanated by the combustion of fossil fuels, coal and other pollutants for making electricity, poisoning our atmosphere and for consequent our lives.
With this invention we easily may build a Tower Wind Mill in every town, in every and any where the wind is blowing will have free electricity.
We can install a Wind Mill Tower on top of all mayor buildings around the world generating enough electricity for the building and have enough left energy to supply the neighbors.
The Wind Mill Tower is composed of modules that superimposed one on top of another it became a tower, as high and as wide as you want, as higher you go as more strong wind you get, it is because the wind blow in many layers at different levels, as higher you go as strong it is the wind, that is why I visualize a Wind Mill Tower on top of the Cities building.

Great idea continue to think outside the box, imagination creates true innovations.

Have you had a look at piezoelectrics for your generator? Why so expensive a prototype? Can't you just hack an old speaker and a couple of diodes?
Mar 9 2011 by Bob Stuart
piezoelectrics were also some of the things that I looked at in the early stage of development. It certainly is something that we will investigate further as well.
Mar 14 2011 by doylebuehler
You paid for purity of signal, not strength. Speakers are about the only common electronic junk that does deal with useful amounts of power, and their magnets and coils are just what you need.

I bought a "high-end" pickup from an electrical guitar pick-up manufacturer. I basically paid retail for this coil/inductor. I have started to build some new ones for trial as well, which will be much more powerful and able to generate a higher output current - at a significantly lower cost. This was just an "easy" way to test the theory. That's all. Now that it is feasible, we can continue to develop it into something more practical, and make marked improvements in the costs and efficiency of such a device.

Hi, how cost effective is linear induction wind generation and how do you anticipate its use in a residential context? Thanks!
Mar 2 2011 by STG International
OK, keep working on those calculations. An order of magnitude estimate of the power available for the $200 investment would be very helpful. Good luck with your project.

HI. Thanks for the Q... The prototype device cost around $200 with off-the-shelf components just to test the idea behind it... still working through the power calculations, but there are numerous improvements that we are working on to increase the power output to make it more cost effective. The power output is primarily dependant on the inductance of the pick-up coils, the strength of the wind, and the frequency of the vibrating string (which is also a function of its thickness, tension, etc). The coils then become the major variable, as a large range of inductors can be designed for each specific application... Residential context... the linear wire can be mounted across rooftops, fences, flag poles, residential street lighting poles... basically any long flat surface - vertical or horizontal - from 3 feet and up. The pick-up coils can then simple be mounted at the primary node location of the rotor wire.

no worries prospero... just think of strumming an electric guitar - the sound that you hear is actually caused by the strings of the guitar "cutting" the magnetic field of some permanent magnets, which in turn generates a current...into an amp and into "noise" (or music to some :-) )
Mar 1 2011 by doylebuehler
The harmonics and frequencies are imposed by the solid parts, not by the wind, which flows smoothly when undisturbed. Other experimenters have used flat string such as pallet strapping to get more power. I do like the simplicity of this approach for generating tiny amounts of power.
Feb 28 2011 by Bob Stuart
I also think that there are many ways to be able to improve the output of this type of device - but perhaps more so with maximizing the magnet windings (size of magnet, # coils, etc...); the "string" or pallet strap could get too heavy perhaps, and actually reverse the effects of the wind, as you need to maximize this change in frequency across the magnets.
Mar 1 2011 by doylebuehler
Thanks for the comment Bob - I hadn't really thought about a pallet strap - great idea.
