An idea I've had for years, but never tried and never seen anyone else
do it either.
Simple idea - capture the energy of a tall tree swaying in the wind.
Rough numbers: 200kg force (2kN) through 0.3m every 2 seconds is
potentially around 330W.
Tie a line to the top of the tree to ground via a spring. Use the
movement of the tether to drive a ratchet connected to a generator.
Anyone know of anything similar?
