A Scottish company has successfully tested oscillating aerofoils it says may convert wind to electricity at ground level, as cheaply and efficiently as current wind turbines. (www.katricktechnologies.com)

aerofoils that oscillate independently when exposed to the kinetic energy of wind and these mechanical oscillations are then converted to energy.

Kind of sounds like the same basic mechanism used for wave energy?
