New wind harvesting device is 16 times more efficient than solar panels



According to its creators, a new rooftop wind harvesting device can generate 50% more electricity than solar panels for the same cost.

Because of the much smaller footprint, a single unit can provide the same amount of power as up to 16 solar panels.

Aeromine Technologies’ motionless design replaces the blades found in traditional wind turbines with an aerodynamic system that harvests energy from the airflow above a building. This makes them virtually noiseless and safe for birds and other wildlife.

Adding new value to the fast-growing market

“This is a game-changer adding new value to the fast-growing rooftop power generation market, helping corporations meet their resilience and sustainability goals with an untapped distributed renewable energy source,” said Aeromine CEO David Asarnow.

“Aeromine’s proprietary technology brings the performance of wind energy to the onsite generation market, mitigating legacy constraints posed by spinning wind turbines and less efficient solar panels.”

Aeromine’s units take up 10% of the space required for solar panels while also producing electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

According to the company, the technology will reduce a building’s need for energy storage capacity and, depending on the building’s design and location, could even make the building energy independent.

“The technology is a major leap forward from legacy distributed wind turbines that are ill-suited for most rooftop applications,” the site states.

“Aeromine’s founders have created a much more effective way to harness even moderate wind to create energy for large, flat rooftop buildings such as warehouses, data centres, office, and apartment buildings.”

The device is currently being tested at a manufacturing facility in Michigan, while future applications could include large residential buildings and electric car charging stations.
