BLUE ENERGY

 

In the communities near Blue Fields, a city on Nicaragua’s jungle-entangled Caribbean coast, tropical fish and tropical storms can be easier to spot than a wall outlet. Many of the villages have never been linked to the grid. In 2004, Mathias Craig, an MIT graduate and his brother, Guillaume, founded Blue Energy, an organization that has built a dozen wind turbines for those blacked-out homes and businesses. This video artistically documents the construction of a wind turbine on Monkey Point.

​

TURBINE-FREE WIND ENERGY:

 

A 20-something inventor named Shawn Frayne created a mini wind-powered generator to light homes and charge batteries in developing countries. Instead of a spinning turbine, the wind flutters a tautly-strung ribbon on a frame. Magnets on each end of the ribbon oscillate between wire coils to produce small amounts of electricity. This is a musical, mostly wordless demonstration of the fluttering ribbon and how it was assembled.

The Turbulent History of Flamenco

 
Flamenco is a complex musical and cultural tradition. It’s one of Spain most representative forms of art. The real roots are not known precisely but normally acknowledged that flamenco grew out of native Gypsies, the Gitanos, of the Romani ethnicity, and has Islamic, Jewish, and Christian influences.
