TechCrunch:
Most wind turbines have a recognizable shape, but a new design from Segway inventor Dean Kamenhttp://www.business-opportunities.biz/?s=Dean%20Kamen is less obvious in its functionality: This turbine has a vertical axis and rotors made of plastic fabric meant to be easily moved by the wind.
Archetypal wind turbines require a good amount of steel and concrete to be built, and once installed, it is difficult to move them. Kamen’s design uses air to inflate the rotors, which act as giant sails. The rotors can be easily deflated, making the turbine not only lightweight, but mobile.
