About

Compact, Robust and Durable Design: Has a blade tip height of 18-26m, a two-arm-per-blade configuration, extruded aircraft aluminum blades, an all-galvanized steel rotor and tower. Patented innovations such as "hinged" connection systems, a hexagonal mast, and vertical struts contribute to a projected 70+ year fatigue life. Simplified Manufacturing, Installation, and Maintenance. Synergistic Array Performance: Modeling demonstrates that closely spaced VAWTs (within one meter of each other) achieve a 15% or greater increase in Annual Energy Production compared to wider spacing. This compensates for the VAWT problem of drag and an inherently lower efficiencies than HAWTs. Lower Total Cost per kWh: There are many places where VAWTs will realize lower lifetime kWh costs than new wind and solar farms will likely achieve. Increased Capacity Factors: Wind Harvester 4.0 can significantly increase the capacity factors of existing and new wind farms by capturing energy from.
