What reed instrument players have known for years, fun with flutter energy.  Taking electrical energy from a wind-excited vibrating band. Not original in concept but nicely done. 

Windbelt, Cheap Generator Alternative, Set to Power Third World - Popular Mechanics - Nov 07 Issue (video and text)

Reminds me of another, far more appealing, non-turbine wind energy conversion system (WECS) noted in a long forgotten science fiction story.  These generators were fields of synthetic grass with piezoelectric devices attached to them.  Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] nder on this one.

More YouTube examples of aerodynamic flutter.
