However, there is something far more interesting about the windbelt than just its applications in impoverished areas. Frayne’s invention was the result of an independent inventor thinking about a problem in challenging environment (rural Haiti). The windbelt did not come from a think tank in an office complex, but from a single mind experimenting in a small workshop in California. The goal was not to find a complex gear system to improve existing turbines, but to find a cheap, simple method of harnessing wind energy. These two trends will define the next ten years of the renewable energy movement: individual innovation and basic, uncomplicated products.

For the individual interested in harnessing wind energy, Mr. Gray said, the first step should be to determine, by use of a measuring device, whether there is suitable wind at the homesite. It should average at least 10 miles an hour over several months. With the appropriate turbine, winds of 10 to 15 miles an hour could produce electricity, but probably not enough to meet all the needs of an average home.
