Peter also did a fluttermill with a linear alternator. No video though. Itsandbits did one too

Yeah that sound feasible - something that get some useful momentum going.

I was thinking of a giant wobbling fishing lure. Like a jitterbug. Only the fluid is air.

That’s pretty cool. I’m not sure a flag will power it as it looks like some degree of effort is needed to get it going. Maybe something more ridged would work more effectively than a flag??

I've been trying to come up with a way to convert back and forth motion to one way rotation with no lost motion for a flywheel generator for awhile. I keep wanting to convert the waving motion of a flag to generate electricity. This is what I finally came up with.

Yeah, I'm not sure there is enough to capture. I have seen vent pipes on some. Oops there goes the atmosphere.

You would think they would at least burn it off rather than just venting it to atmosphere. I can just imagine Greta Thunburg stamping her feet shouting her ‘How Dare’ you speech.
