Proposal

If you search for the phrase “mini wind turbine,” you’ll see many products being marketed, indicating the existing demand for wind power generation. Unfortunately, most investors don’t achieve the expected returns. While turbine efficiency improvements have approached the Betz limit (59.3%), we’re witnessing turbines with 1m blade lengths needing to be raised 10-20m to catch wind. This means significant investment for minimal wind energy collected within that 1m radius.

A new solution involves using oscillating blade turbines, employing the same aerodynamic principles as current horizontal-axis turbines (with comparable efficiency) but capable of sweeping through a much larger area than traditional turbines. Thus, more wind energy is captured. I’ve named it the “king turbine” due to its superior efficiency compared to small wind turbines, but I’ve emphasized this by calling it TWT. It could usher in an era of decentralized energy production, enabling individuals to invest for personal use, accelerating investment socialization and driving global greenhouse gas emission reduction.

TWT’s low center of gravity makes it suitable for installation on boats and floating platforms. It can also lower its blades during storms, making it sleeker, material-saving, and cost-effective.

Maintaining TWT is also much simpler, especially as turbine scale increases. These advantages make TWT a compelling investment choice.

Of course, for TWT to function, it needs to overcome many technical challenges. I’m pleased to announce that most of the major challenges have been addressed, and the TWT model can run and generate electricity. However, further research is needed to optimize its performance and prepare it for commercialization.

Completing TWT’s research requires substantial resources. Through this competition, I hope to find investors willing to advance the project’s development and refinement, enabling early commercial production for real-life applications.
