Can we talk about wind power here, or is it just for electricity?

Wind Energy
I don't see why not?
It's a somewhat unused alternative form of energy, available for free (sort of speaking) although not being the most
reliable source of power, capable of delivering both mechanical and electric energy to you.

I'm working on writing it up.

I started writing up just one of my many concepts, only to realize how many and much there is to write; I am daunted. There is a lot more than I thought.
To complicate matters, I have volunteered to clean out a HUGE webcam site (webcamplaza), and it's a bigger chore than expected (but still fun).
Nothing is proven or tested, due to lack of resources, but given proper resources, I know I could make each and every one work. How about a wood-burning stove looking thing that has a shaft running up the flue to about a 3 foot high by 5 foot wide turbine, which makes heat by friction; no gas, wood or electricity. It would also have a mechanical fan to move the air around.
That's but one concept, and it would take days to write up.
As for wind availability, *I* seem to have the special ability to make the wind blow whenever I want, by merely trying to cary a sheet of plywood of sheetrock out doors. Of course, being in Wyoming helps.
Hmmm... maybe I will try to finish that first one (going on four pages now). I would actually like to present it for people to poke holes in and give some constructive criticism; that helps work bugs out and point out things I might have missed. Would be interesting.
To be honest, I would hope someone who can afford to work on them would pick them up and do something with them (as I can't afford it).
