FLAGs (Flexible Linear Aeroelectrostatic Generators) are the newest in wind energy technology; thin, flexible electronic circuits that oscillate in the wind to generate electricity. Simple and lightweight, a FLAG is constructed from inexpensive thin film polymers such as polyester, and surfaced with flexible conductors like conductive inks, films, or metallization. FLAG technology has the following characteristics:
- Low mass
- Low Cost
- Broad Windspeed Range
- Appearance of Tree Leaves, Flags, or Miniaturized
- Wildlife friendly
- Recyclable
- High Efficiency
- High Energy Density
- Airborne or Space Applications
