Abstract: A distributed system of electrical generators utilizing wind driven natural motion of trees includes pull-retract generators deriving torque from the back and forth swaying of neighboring trees and cables, wherein one set of cables acting as support and the other acting as a spring-tensioned flexible rack that drives the pinion gear of the pull-retract generator and also supports the pull-retract generator between the trees. The cables are attached to the pull-retract generators and provide the tension required to support and retract the pull-retract generator mechanism. Tree saddles attach the pull-retract generator cabling to the trees. As the trees sway independently the separations between the trees fluctuate periodically and the pull-retract generators convert these fluctuations into rotational forces that drive the generators.

Abstract: A distributed system of electrical generators utilizing wind driven natural motion of trees comprises a novel energy producing system. The network of the generators, PRGs, derives torque from the back and forth swaying of neighboring trees. Cables, one set of cables for support and the other acting as a spring-tensioned flexible rack that drives the pinion gear of the PRG and also supports the PRG, between the trees are attached to the PRGs and provide the tension required to support and retract the PRG mechanism. Tree saddles attach the PRG cabling to the trees. As the trees sway independently the separations between the trees fluctuate periodically and the PRGs convert these fluctuations into rotational forces that drive the generators.
