Video Description:
Google Tech Talks December, 12 2007 ABSTRACT Shawn Frayne, a 28 year old inventor based in Mountain View, will talk about his wind belt. This is a power generation device, that is low cost and consists of a membrane that resonates like a guitar string, with a pair of magnets that oscillate between coils. There was a story recently in Popular Mechanics - watch the video at: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4224763.html?series=37 Speaker: Shawn Frayne Shawn is the inventor of the core wind generator technology on which Humdinger is founded. Previous to his involvement with Humdinger, Shawn successfully matured two technologies, in the fields of "green" packaging and water disinfection, from concepts into developed products in pre-production. He established a strong intellectual property base surrounding those technologies and in early 2006 sold substantial rights to a Fortune 500 company. He is presently involved with refining the manufacturing processes of those products in facilities that have been built overseas. He is also part of an on-going effort established four years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop low-cost technologies by which entrepreneurs in Haiti can transform agricultural wastes into saleable cooking fuel. Shawn has six pending U.S. patents. He has his Bachelor of Science in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Thank you very much Shawn.
In 1990, at the Glastonbury International Arts Festival, a 'Wigwam' harmonic oscilation belt turbine was demonstrated. The components were as follows:- (1) A Pole (2) A plastic 'Hoola Hoop' (3) Ribbons (4) Pegs (Skewars/Tent Pegs) (5) Magnets inside coils [inside 'Hoola Hoop'] (6) Super-Capacitor
s (instead of batteries) Power generation functions like the ubiquious shake-torches. 'Hoola' half way up 'wigwam' ;-)
Then one dude started marketing Sail Surfboards without paying royalties. The Lawyers pounced like wolves! He just laughed all the way to court, over the years he had collected travel brochures, magazines etc. from prior to the Patent Application, clearly showing sails on surfboards. Patent claim
s are broad, exposure of 'Prior Art' limits the patent's scope!;-)
