This is just an early test of concept. I think with some more R&D, I'll be able to get it to generate electricity. My question is, if you generate power using a turbine whistle, does the carbon dioxide you exhale contribute to global warming? (I'm trying to solve a big problem here, and I don't want to overlook any important details.)
Thanks in advance for your assistance with this project.
All you have to do is make it so the turbines have loops at the end. The loops pass through a container of soap. The motion of the spinning turbines will create bubbles and they will clean the air, not pollute it.
Tell us something.: This is the first sentence. This is the second of the recommended sentences intended to thwart spam its. This is a third, bonus sentence!

Tada!
Ooooo...I like that idea!!! Just make sure that it doesn't have phosphates in it (the soap I mean). And maybe we can get it in those cool scents, like Strawberry or Buttercream.
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece.
Your showing up here reminded me of the old saw discussion.
I'm thinking maybe these turbine whistles could be adapted to run various power tools. Y'know ... drills, saws, etc. This could be a breakthrough for places where you can't plug in a battery charger for your cordless drill.
I think we're making progress.
It also occurs to me that the electric generating feature could be formatted to power a microphone/amp/speaker arrangement to create a self-amplifying whistle for playing loud venues.
It also creates the possibility for busking without having to play in public (and without even having to know any tunes, for that matter).
You could feed the power generated by the turbine whistle back into the electric power grid and get paid by the electric company for the electricity you produce.
In fact, I can imagine a large cottage industry of individuals making extra money through power generation in the home. If I can get enough people to participate, it may significantly reduce our dependence on fossile fuels for electric power. Acid rain, mercury pollution in the lakes and streams, etc. will be a thing of the past.
Best wishes,

If I may offer an environmentally friendly suggestion, you might take the example of the uilleann pipes and attach bag and bellows to it. Your power source, with about seven years' practice, could be fairly steady and continuous.

Excellent idea, Nano.
I'll outsource the production of that feature to Erle Bartlett. He's already done groundbreaking work in that area. And for those who prefer a bag-driven fipple instrument instead of a bag-driven reed instrument, we can use Daniel Bingamon's bagwhistle technology.
Best wishes,
