Wind energy harvesting system on a frozen surface

This invention describes a system for generating electricity from wind on frozen surfaces like snow or ice. It uses multiple wings or sails, supported by skis or skates, which are linked together to move in a repeating cycle. This motion is then used to drive a generator, converting wind energy into usable electricity.

Why it matters: Filed before modern embedded systems and advanced composite materials were widely available. Today's low-power microcontrollers and robust sensors could make the claimed control system more precise and efficient, while new materials could improve wing performance and durability in extreme cold.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom wings, control system, generator, cold-weather durability
