SHAWN FRAYNE: Shawn is the sole inventor or co-inventor on a number of US and international patent filings. He has his Bachelor of Science in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Shawn is the inventor of the core wind generator technology on which Humdinger is founded. Previous to his involvement with Humdinger, Shawn successfully matured several technologies, in the fields of self-inflating packaging and water disinfection, from concepts into developed products. He established a strong intellectual property base surrounding those technologies and in early 2006 sold substantial rights to a multinational company. Some of Shawn’s work has been profiled in Popular Mechanics, Discover, Forbes.com, and NPR.
My thoughts: He came up with winddinger when he worked in Tahiti. Tahiti regulates many import restrictions and he had to come up with small, cheap, and low maintenance to power up basic needs for the place.
He sees, and I truly believe, that the idea of inventing cheap & open source idea to create energy/products will change the perspective of future.
The world is dominated with a lot of wasteful technology and we are so emerged ourselves to it that we don’t even question what things are the way it is. Big dominated countries produce products and we indulge ourselves with immediate convenience and high technology.
Efficiency!
