Location:
Overview: Vertical-axis system,flywheel, computer-controlled output and RPM. Capable of operating in higher and lower winds than other technologies. Visually unobtrusive, silent and vibration-free. Stationary external cowling allows for mounting of screening to prevent harm to birds and bats.
Compressed-air turbine keeps generator spinning during low-wind or high-demand periods.

Thanks, I appreciate your support though this contest is judged by VPs, CEOs, Etc. & isn't a public vote competition; It still feels good to be acknowledged for your efforts to make the world a better place. Visit www.WaterGas.GotDragon.com for more info on my projects in the works; Like my "Dragon-Fli" Quantum Hybrid Vehicle...

I Entered it 3/15 but it's not up yet here on EcoMagination.com, the YouTube Video is up at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlaSsOuT0eM ...if you'd be so kind, please check it out & give me some feedback about it! It is meant to be Self-Sufficient/Eco-Friendly combining many readily-available parts in new ways...
Using a Hi-Torque Electric Motor 2 a Trans-Lateral-Axle Direct-Dive Rear Tire, a couple of 12V Batteries charged by a-bunch-of-Alternators in-motion, Air-Flux-Capacitors, Hydrogen/Gas Hybrid Combustion 2 Drive/Propel Via Front-Axle/AFC, Solar Skin to top it off & Maybe even a lil Human Back-Up Power! I figure the world needs this stuff & any help we can give each other to learn new things are the only way we'll survive!
Have a Nice Day & Good Luck!

This technology can, if properly developed resolve almost all of the objections that have delayed the massive deployment of wind energy infrastructure: The noise, visual obtrusiveness, high-amplitude oscillations in electrical output, drying of the soil, hazards to birds, bats and surrounding infrastructure. Other inherent advantages over conventional wind power conversion equipment are explained at: http://www.WinDynamo.com

The horrible tragedies in Japan should be responded to by every nation on Earth which has the expertise and resources to do so.
The nuclear emergencies and natural gas and oil fires in Japan should be an object lesson, and warning, to every nation as to why it is of utmost urgency to convert the world's energy systems to TRULY clean, safe, abundant, inexhaustible and FREE energy sources, such as Wind, Sunshine, Geothermal Heat, Tidal/River Flows and Hydrogen/Oxygen extracted from Water using electricity from those sources.
If you think massive conversion to clean energy would be "too expensive", I have 2 questions for you:
1) In your cost/benefit analysis, how do you value the lives of nuclear plant radiation victims, coal miners, drilling rig workers, billions of sea creatures and the millions of people who die from pollution-caused illnesses?
2) If we fail to restore and protect the ONLY known natural life-support system in the Universe, how will you justify that failure to your gasping, wheezing Great-Grandchildren, and what do you think the money saved will be worth to THEM?
If Japan's energy came from self-renewing energy sources, there would be no oil and gas fires or nuclear emergencies adding to the other crises they are facing.

Thanks again to everyone for your comments and support. Hopefully participating in this wonderful program brought to us by GE and their collaboraters will allow many of the forward-looking technologies put forward here to be "put to practical use", as gysane2000 suggests. TRULY clean, abundant, inexhaustible energy sources, such as Wind, Sunshine, Geothermal Heat, Tidal/River Flows (which the above technology can ALSO harness), and Hydrogen/Oxygen extracted from H2O using electricity from those sources are the best, cheapest and lowest-tech hope to restore and protect the ONLY known natural life-support system in the Universe. Enough Solar Energy Strikes the Earth every HOUR to power all human energy needs for a YEAR! Wind and the Water Cycle are powered by the Sun.
