  5. Wind

  6. The ProblemWind Turbines are typically ratedat wind speed = 20+ mph.Power grows as cube of speed.It also shrinks as cube of speed!

  7. The ProblemWind Turbines are typically ratedat wind speed = 20+ mph.Little Rock Seasonal Average9.6 mph @ 100 feet AGL7.2 mph @ 50 feet AGL

  8. The SolutionUse the Venturi Effectto multiply the wind speed.The “average” wind speedis multiplied by thearea ratio.Flow is stable, subsonic,and uses off the shelfturbine technology.

  9. Development PhasesPhase 1: Working Architectural ModelPhase 2: Full Scale Prototype TestingPhase 3: Manufacturing
