"When walking or standing outside on a windy day, the windmills turn. Small individual power generating circuits transfer the rotational energy into usable voltage. In this prototype, the power generated turns on white LEDs, but the energy could be used to power mobile devices or stored for later use."
- Mary Huang, Rhyme and Reason Creative.

a magnet floats between a coil of wire. As the magnet spins the poles are fliped and the pull creates an electrical output

Tiny circuits convert the energy generated from the moving blades into light, which in this prototype’s case, takes the form of tiny white LEDs.
