If you look at a hydro dam,. . . the basic principle is to collect water and then,
. . . . . down below there are small openings where the water is allowed to escape.
. . . By simple physics, when you do that, the water speeds up.
. . . . . It is in that small opening in dams where the generator is placed.
. . . . . The generator is small, but it makes a very large amount of power
. . . . . because the water is moving very fast through that small opening.
Invelox is basically an air dam that collects wind instead of water.
Advantages of Invelox
200% Greater Power Output
50% Shorter Tower Height
50% Less Maintenance (all the working parts are smaller and on the ground )
8X Smaller Footprint
5X Lower Cut-in Speed ( 2 mph )
38% Less Net Cost/MWH
11% Less Installed Cost (all the working parts are smaller and on the ground )
