| Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy that is then converted by a generator into electricity. A coaxial wind turbine utilizes a second counter-rotating rotor to increase the amount of kinetic energy converted from a particular patch of sky. AirBuoyant, LLC has developed the patented HyperBlade, a coaxial, counter-rotating, bladed wind turbine design that is 30 percent more efficient than conventional designs for the same blade diameter and reduces kick-in power by nearly half over conventional layouts. The HyperBlade has the same footprint of standard horizontal wind turbines and has the same cost of implementation, yet generates more power. A small, 2 to 3 kW variant of HyperBlade is currently being manufactured for customers and has a broadening install base across many industries and applications. Advantages: -It is 30 percent more efficient -Installation cost is the same -Footprint is the same Potential Applications: -Wind turbine industry -Clean energy -Green technology |
