Abstract: Systems and methods for providing wind turbine electric generation with advertising or other image patterns for calling the attention of an individual. The wind turbine electric generation may include a wind rotor, a plurality of blades, an image and an electric generator. The image is displayed on at least two of the plurality of blades to generate a dynamic image effect with the rotation of the plurality of blades around a central axis of rotation. The electric generator is coupled to and driven by the wind rotor to generate electricity. The methods may include providing a wind turbine electric generation system and displaying an image on at least two of the plurality of blades to generate a dynamic image effect with the rotation of the plurality of blades around the central axis of rotation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing online content during online gaming are disclosed. In one embodiment, online gainers are able to access available online music content while in-game.

The selected music content may then replace the generic background music to which all other players are limited.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electric power generation are provided. The systems may include a wind turbine electric generator, a fixture, a battery, a processor, and a power grid. The wind turbine electric generator having a wind rotor, a plurality of blades and an electric generator. An image may be displayed on the blades to generate a dynamic image effect with the rotation of the blades around a central axis of rotation. The electric generator may be coupled to and driven by the wind rotor to generate an electrical current. The processor may be coupled to the wind turbine electric generator, the fixture, the battery, and the grid, and configured to transmit a first fraction of the electrical current to the fixture, transmit a second fraction of the electrical current to the battery, and transmit a third fraction of the electrical current to the grid.
