Wind Belt

For my senior design project, we are developing an off the grid, mobile working space that will be set up in Larimer, Pittsburgh as part of a rehabilitation project that the Kingsley association is funding. One option that we have been looking at is wind generation. There are a number of options out there, but they are pretty expensive and can cause roof vibrations.
I stumbled across this link about a wind belt. They are just being tested now, so they're not on the market yet. But it looks pretty easy to make, so I think this will defiantly be one of my summer projects. Anyway check out the video. It's pretty amazing!
