Moya Power — new inexpensive translucent material for collection of wind energy
Bashny.Net
A graduate of the Royal College of arts (UK) Charlotte Slingsby has developed a new, inexpensive solution for collecting wind energy and converting it into electricity. This translucent flexible material called designer Moya Power, can be installed anywhere, and can act as a backup source of energy.
The Slingsby is originally from South Africa, where off the Central power supply are quite common, and the material Moya Power in this case can provide power, if not the whole house, but at least the lighting and basic electrical appliances. Thus he power generating material does not require any infrastructure or allocate a specific location for collecting wind energy.
Moya Power is an array of flexible finger-like "appendages" that vibrate under the action of air currents, produced when the kinetic energy is converted into electricity. In order to determine the optimal size and shape of each "process", the designer had to have a lot of tests. So, she found that "outgrowth" of complex shape catches the wind more efficiently, however, the material with "spikes" a simplified form would be more cost effective in mass production.
As suggested by the designer, Moya Power, which, in fact, uses to create energy, piezoelectric effect, can be mounted on the existing facade of the building or simply stretched over a window frame (as pictured). In addition, it can be set, for example, bridge spans, where the material will be used to generate electricity for the bridge lighting system at night.

Slingsby even invented an exemplary technology for mass production Moya Power, which he called "2D to 3D". Sheets of a suitable thin material by screen printing is applied to the piezoelectric layer, and then these sheets are cut in a certain way "spikes". Further, the sheets overlap each other and further fastened on the contour to the window frame or other structure.
