Improve on the Solution
Manufacturers were competing based on exotic materials, sophisticated aerodynamic blade design, wind forecasting and size
Increasingly complex turbines need high-cost manufacturing, on-site technicians, large land areas for deployment and expensive transmission
Dramatic increases in wind energy generation require an efficient and cost-effective wind turbine design that was simple to manufacture in a variety of different sizes and energy outputs
Widespread deployment achievable only with near-silent operation, low tower heights, durable operation characteristics and maintenance and repair by the consumer or the local mechanic

Main Rotor Tilt controls Pitch of Airfoils
Patent Issued March 16, 2010: US Patent #7,677,862
Production ready, scalable TR-10 tested and ready for direct or licensed manufacturing, distribution, sales and operation Tower/Turbine Dimensions: 3 meter diameter/blade
height mounted on 10m standard tower, total weight 55kg (turbine + generator)
Energy generation: 1.2kW at 46kph (29mph) Generator: proprietary integrated, non-cogging
axial flux generator Parts: non-exotic materials; standardized airfoil
designs Control systems: no electronic control systems; self-
starting Scalability: prototype development and modeling
demonstrates increased stability and exponential energy generation at larger sizes
Durability and performance metrics confirmed through year-long off-grid and grid-tied field testing in harsh Idaho climates Field tested to 160kph (with increasing energy
generation at higher wind speeds) Continued operation in subzero temperatures,
snow and ice Cost of manufacture costs captured through
production test runs Cost/watt competitive at TR-10 configuration (1.
kW) Cost/watt advantages at TR-20 (5.6kW), TR-40
(25kW) and TR-80 (100kW) configurations
Positive Aesthetic/Consumer Differentiators: Near silent operation with minimal structural
vibration enables urban, suburban and rural deployment
Visually appealing design Low tower+blade height Fits onto standard towers (monopole, tri-pole)
Designed for Distributed Worldwide Manufacturing and Use Non-exotic materials and airfoil design Simple manufacture, machining, assembly and
installation Scalability enables multiple deployment options:
Stand-alone Multiple use/community grid Tandem , over-under (with utility grade turbines)
Off-grid and grid-tie compatible Technology Available for License, Acquisition
or Investment
