Contra-rotating turbines
A new kind of floating, vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT).
How does it work?
This novel VAWT design uses two sets of tilting, contra-rotating blades to deliver twice the output of today’s largest turbines.
Why is it needed?
The company claims that its gigantic wind turbine, which can scale up to 400 meters in height, has the capacity to unlock unparalleled power, and density, thereby lowering the cost of offshore wind significantly.
How does it improve life?
Accelerate energy transition
