The below is an article from Business Insider. Davis, California, April 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wind Harvest, a leading innovator in renewable energy technology, has achieved a significant fundraising milestone, surpassing $500,000 on the investment platform Netcapital. Interested investors now have less than one week to capitalize on discounted shares before this opportunity closes. Wind Harvest’s mission is to revolutionize renewable energy production by harnessing turbulent wind resources with their patented vertical axis wind turbine technology. By doubling the output from existing wi ..read more

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 24, 2023 Contact: Kevin Wolf, kwolf@windharvest.com Elias Rappaport, elias@nextgeneration.org A new study and supporting documents by Wind Harvest, a company that is building a novel type of short, utility-scale turbine, has found that mid-level wind turbines could more nearly triple the energy output in the notably windy Tehachapi Wind Resource Area. If utilized, this wind resource would provide enough energy to power 1.8 million California homes each year. Mid-level wind is a term used to describe the currently untapped energy resources found in the turbule ..read more

If utilized, this wind resource would provide enough energy to power 1.4 million California homes each year. Mid-level wind is a term used to describe the currently untapped energy resources found in the tu ..read more

Do you own property where it’s windy, but tall turbines can’t be installed? In this video, Wind Harvest CEO Kevin Wolf takes us through the steps to evaluate whether a site can make use of Wind Harvester turbines. These vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are much shorter than traditional turbines, making use of turbulent winds closer to the ground. Wind speeds, electricity prices, and available tax credits all factor into estimating how profitable Wind Harvesters will be at a potential site.  For more information, check out our newly released report on mid-level wind resources in the S ..read more

One of the fastest and easiest ways to increase renewable energy production in many areas is by adding an understory of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) beneath existing horizontal axis turbines (HAWTs) in wind farms. Zoning requirements and building out infrastructure (roads, transmission lines, etc.) make it costly and time-consuming to develop new wind farms. Wind Harvest CEO Kevin Wolf explains Capacity Factor Enhancement projects and the savings that make them quick and inexpensive to install. Wind Harvesters are designed to be short enough to install underneath tall turbines and rea ..read more

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 24, 2023 Contact: Kevin Wolf, kwolf@windharvest.com Elias Rappaport, elias@nextgeneration.org A new study by Wind Harvest, a company that is building a novel type of short, utility-scale turbine, has found that mid-level wind turbines could almost quadruple the energy output in the notoriously windy San Gorgonio Pass (SGP). These turbines would provide enough energy to power 1 million California homes each year. Mid-level wind is a term used to describe the currently untapped energy resources found in the turbulent wind 15 ft to 100 ft (5-30m) above the ground ..read more

What is the Coupled Vortex Effect? How can it increase the efficiency of both vertical axis  and horizontal axis wind turbines? In the first of a two-part series, CEO Kevin Wolf explains how Wind Harvest co-founder Bob Thomas discovered this synergistic Coupled Vortex Effect which brings VAWTs up to the same level of efficiency as horizontal axis turbines in producing renewable energy. How can wind farms leverage the Coupled Vortex Effect to increase the renewable energy output of their existing wind turbines? In the second of this two-part series, Kevin Wolf, describes how arrays of ..read more

Wind Harvest’s vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are built to last in tough conditions. In this Q&A clip, CEO Kevin Wolf discusses the fatigue life of Wind Harvesters and what it means for generating affordable renewable energy. These robust turbines are designed to operate in class 2 winds: 90 mile an hour winds for up to 10 minutes, or even brief gusts of up to 155 miles per hour. Modeling predicts that even in such strong winds, Wind Harvesters will last over 70 years! This means that wind farm owners with Wind Harvesters on their properties can expect their costs to produce clean e ..read more

How big is the market for mid-level vertical axis wind turbines? In this Q&A, Wind Harvest CEO Kevin Wolf explains how the team identified wind farms that can increase their energy production by infilling with an understory of Wind Harvesters. These short turbines can generate energy from mid-level, turbulent winds that traditional turbines can’t handle. Wind Harvest is poised to open this worldwide renewable energy resource that is as yet untapped. Making use of this resource on existing wind farms is easier and more cost effective than building out new ones. The post Opening an Unta ..read more
