An abundance of electrical energy is here for the taking. The U.S. Department of Energy states that offshore wind offers a potential of over 3 terawatts of power. 212 gigawatts of offshore wind turbines have either been approved or are planned for the near future. This new offshore wind turbine electrical generation business is estimated at $300 billion.
The U.S. Department of Energy wind vision objectives are to produce 10% of the national electrical energy demands in 2020, 20% in 2030 and 35% in 2050, which also considers the estimated population growth and its associated increases in demand.
Off the coast of the United States of America lies the future of new electrical energy production for our country.
The equipment to capture this energy is now available through the Rotowind System.
Capturing this energy is like collecting energy based on the idea of hydroelectric dams, but with wind energy. Designed to work in all types of weather. The world needs over 8,500 Rotowind Floating Wind Turbines (sales of over $297 billion).
Rotowind Systems has been developed by a group of scientists and engineers which is a new wind turbine system that collects this wind energy. The new wind system is called a VAWTA, the Vertical Axis Wind Turbine with Air Foils. VAWTA will out-produce the present types of wind turbines and cost less to manufacture. VAWTA is completely built in shipyards and then towed to sea to strategically selected locations. It produces up to 50 megawatts of electrical energy per unit.
Best of all is that the ROI will pay out in 7 years or less.
Our thanks go to the many universities and government agencies that have helped to develop this new wind energy turbine system. Patent is pending and over eleven years in research and development.
Present offshore wind turbines need 10 units to produce 50 megawatts of electrical power that cost $80 million to construct.
The Rotowind System will produce 50 megawatts of power with a cost of only $35 million. The benefits also include reduced environmental impact to marine environments and wildlife, and a greatly accelerated ROI.
Horizontal axis wind turbines are based on a very narrow view of the wind energy problem. The focus is on trying to obtain the maximum single blade efficiency, and then scaling it up to produce levels of energy production that is useable for grid-level applications. That focus has several inherent negative effects.
All of this results in overly complex systems that have high maintenance requirements and which increase the complexity and costs of making repairs, all of which consume potential bottom-line profits. Additionally, the rotor designs create turbulence that requires about 1 mile of distance to prevent interference with other downwind systems.
The Rotowind system solves every one of the above problems. It is designed to be able to operate in wind speeds that are more than 90 miles per hour, and it does not use friction based braking systems to prevent overspeed conditions, and it does this without having excessive structural loads even in high wind speed conditions. The clearance between systems can be as low as 200 yards, which translates into a 20x areal density increase.
The entire system is designed to use a minimum number of parts, thereby reducing construction and maintenance costs, and minimizing the resultant impact on bottom-line profitability. Design considerations were included which result in a minimum impact upon wildlife. The Rotowind system utilizes grid level battery storage technology, which is based upon environmentally friendly technologies, and which can be easily and cost-effectively increased in storage capacity.
We are looking for the correct offshore wind energy group or manufacturing company to work with, or a funding group. Thank you for helping us with this most important development.
