Micro turbine sheet design for gathering wind energy

This invention describes a flexible sheet embedded with many tiny wind turbines, each less than an inch in size. The sheet can be unrolled and connected to various power destinations, such as homes, businesses, or even vehicles, to generate clean electricity from wind.

Why it matters: Since 2007, significant advancements in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and flexible electronics manufacturing have made the production of efficient, sub-inch wind turbines and their integration into a rollable sheet more feasible. Additionally, improved energy storage solutions now better support the capture and use of intermittent wind power.
