This is a preview of our new turbine. This turbine is still under development but is performing very well in initial tests.

This turbine is much lighter and faster than previous turbines I’ve built. For one, it is a lift based turbine utilizing symmetrical airfoils rather than a drag based turbine such as the Savonius. This has both advantages and disadvantages. This turbine really goes, but the Savonius starts up easier in super light winds. The airfoils were designed using open source design software and fabricated with composite materials for light weight. This wind turbine also uses sealed bearings and requires no oiling or regular maintenance.
