Established principles in a novel useage
Aeromine is designed to sit on the edge of a building facing the predominant wind direction.
The combined wind acceleration provided by the building and the vertical airfoils creates a vacuum behind the twin propellers.
Air is then sucked past the propellers and power is generated.
Buildings accelerate wind as it is pushed up over the edge.
The aerodynamic design accelerates the wind further, creating a low-pressure zone behind the twin rotors.
The low-pressure increases airspeed through the Aeromine unit, past the propeller to produce meaningful electricity.
Renewable wind energy is site specific
Aeromine has developed proprietary tools that use established wind resource data to forecast Aeromine energy production on a site specific basis.
These site assessments are used to evaluate a regional or global portfolio of buildings as well as individual sites prior to installation.
-
Aeromine complements solar as wind energy is often produced at different time of day/year than solar
-
Wind is a highly effective renewable energy source resulting in high energy output per sqm rooftop
-
Aeromine’s Innovative simplicity, results in low risk, easy maintenance and inherent safety
Durable design - 20 years expected lifetime
Very few moving parts. No noise or vibration, and a minimal impact on the surrounding environment and wildlife.
Made from low grade, highly durable, and generally recyclable materials, and no environmentally problematic materials such as silicon or rare earth minerals.
Industrial Rotor design is simple, safe and requires very little attention. Permanent magnet generator, hermetically sealed with passive cooling and lubricated for life.
The electrical connection of an Aeromine system is similar to solar PV systems, using inverters and components already certified in the markets.
24/7
performance measurements
Aeromine systems can be remotely monitored and controlled, enabling individual units or full system operational changes as well as seamless integration with other building systems.
Reports and alerts can be configured to provide ongoing performance management.
