The convenience explained by you is appreciable. But the wind speed may be low at the height where your device shall be fixed. To get proper wind-speed, the device must be fixed at sufficient height, and that is where proper strong installation is required

Cost will make all the difference here. Location of installation too. Is this still in the planning stages or is it in production already?

Love this idea. Living in WA wind is pretty plentiful so hoping to see these in market sooner rather than later... they've been "coming soon" for a very long time

HI, I agree with your idea, but.. to develop wind power in urban areas you need a accurate wind map of the city and..., a Municipal legal framework for this kind of installation permits and licenses. AERSE´s ecomagination idea can help you...http://challenge.ecomagination.com/home/WIND-ASSESMENT-METHOD-AT-URBAN-AREAS--lcr600of

Flywheel energy storage is a clean, green, economical alternative energy source. A flywheel can be recharged countless times and has a long shelf life. Flywheels can be used for phenomenal improvements in both transport and home power generation.

Welcome to the world of Rhea
Rhea is the Greek goddess of earth, sky, and flow. She was born from the Greek goddess Ge who brought forth all life, breathing life and form into all matter. Now history repeated itself and GE has once again breathe life and form into Rhea. Thanks to the ecomagination challenge Rhea has been reborn.
Rhea (recycling home energy appliance) has been born out of a necessity to save energy and recycle heat, heat that we currently discard. She is a combination of appliances working in conjunction with one another. Rhea has the capability to remove more heat from our gray water than was added in the first place. She improves our indoor air quality and harnesses heat from our attics and clothes dryers. Rhea can be incorporated into any type of heating system and lower its overall operating costs.
Rhea is simple in concept, easy to understand, uncomplicated to build and trouble free to install and operate. She provides many services to a homeowner most of which are currently unavailable and she performs them automatically, making life easier.
Rhea’s Benefits:
1 She can save more than 40% of a home’s hot water bill.
2 She can increase the fresh air intake’s temperature by up to 75% and save on a heating bill.
3 She can supply or supplement all or part of a home’s heating and cooling.
4 Rhea provides instant warm water at all faucets and helps conserve water.
5 She can reduce the temperature of one’s attic making cooling easer or unnecessary.
6 Rhea recycles that attic heat and uses it to preheat the hot water.
7 She can recycle the heat from a clothes dryer and process the lint again making life easier.
8 Rhea can provide endless hot water.
9 She can vastly improve a home’s indoor air quality.
10 Rhea contains a bag free central vacuum which only requires minimum maintenance.
11 She can remove stale air from up to 5 locations throughout the home.
12 Rhea can pay for herself in less than 10 years!
13 Rhea is modular and can be quickly assembled.
14 Because of this parts of Rhea can be quickly replaced and fixed off site.
15 Rhea provides a 10 gallon power flush to the sewer line and is invaluable to all municipalities.
16 Overall Rhea can save a family of 4 $400 or more per year in energy savings.
Rhea is the next step in conservation and when combined with our Smart Washer/ Dryer combo (SWorD) is a perfect fit to finish the GE Net Zero Home. Visit me and tell me what you think?

Love it. Totally feasible. If you can control the output current to keep it from exceeding 12.5 Amperes, any standard 15 Amp outlet would be able to handle the incoming electricity. My only question is how to you keep the current from spiking in high wind situations?
