Tree Energy

Wave energy is great and reliable, but only available on the coasts. Trees are more accessible to most of the population. My thought is to turn the swaying of a tree into energy. Attach the transducers to tree trunks to convert swaying movements into energy. The movement would be transferred from the tops of trees (having more movement than the base) by use of pushrods attached to magnets housed in iron cores. These then are hooked into batteries either locally on the tree or pumped into a central station. Each individual transducer output would be small, but the cumulative, 24 hour effect could be great.
