We talk a lot about turbine technology and sustainability, but what's truly at the heart of every Wind Harvester? The science of the wind!

High in the atmosphere, air moves in smooth, parallel streams — what physicists call laminar flow. This is the realm of traditional wind turbines, operating 300+ feet up where wind is consistent, predictable, and powerful. Closer to the ground, however, the Earth's surface creates friction. Trees, terrain, and structures break up that smooth flow into something chaotic and three-dimensional - turbulent flow, where wind speeds becomes more erratic and direction shifts constantly.

The dividing line between these two worlds is called the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), a gradient zone where laminar flow gradually gives way to surface turbulence. Within it sits the Surface Layer: roughly the bottom 15–100 feet above the ground, where mechanical turbulence from obstacles dominates and wind shear is most intense.

Wind Harvesters are engineered to be omnidirectional and through its aeroelastic modeling, built to handle the harmonic resonance these winds can cause. Where traditional HAWTs saw the Atmospheric Boundary Layer as an obstacle to stay above, Wind Harvest has finally been able to look at those those powerful lower surface winds into opportunity.

Exciting progress is being made on one of our largest, most important components for building our new Wind Harvester 4.0 model. Come read about how our friends at Tech-Max Machine, Inc in Illinois are helping bring one of our more recent patents from paper to reality through a few really awesome photos of the manufacturing process and info they've graciously shared with us!

A bit of for the Wind Harvest mission - an offshore floating wind farm has become a haven of biodiversity for ocean species in Portugal, giving more evidence that renewable resource projects can coexist with the life the exists around them. We know that on land there is a difference in how life exists, but still it gives us the hope that our efforts in wildlife sustainability will be achieved and they will be able to flourish in our renewable resource ecosystems.

Last June, Forbes took notice of the progress Wind Harvest had (and has) been making in recent years, and it's a great marker to take stock of the leaps and bounds we've made in the year since it was printed! Since then:

- We raised $1.4M in our recent crowdfunding investment round
- New patents were granted for our breakthrough turbine blade disgns
- LOIs were signed for projects in St Croix and around the US
- Our 4.0 model manufacturings are underway and has found a place to be built for testing
- New hires and talent were brought on to manage the growing number of projects that are in motion and yet to be announced!

As we continue down the path of bringing clean, wind energy to new places and peoples and face whatever obstacles may come with aplomb, we look forward to bringing great news from Wind Harvest in the next year!

Wind Harvest is bringing to market a possibly revolutionary but well-tested vertical axis wind turbine that operates on ungathered wind resources near the ground.

Drive shafts and magnets and blades, oh my!

There are a lot of parts that go into building Wind Harvesters, and being as this is a new technology, not to mention built with parts with patented ourselves, there is no central place we can have them all manufactured all at once. However, in all our talks about sustainability at project sites, the community around the project site is also important. That's why when all of these component parts are manufactured, it is our intent to bring these to project site communities to be put together and maintained, hopefully bringing long term jobs locally to them, in addition to affordable clean energy. That's what energy sovereignty is all about!

As many projects are preparing to get underway, the first construction is small but important - putting up the met mast! Through it, we can get better wind data at a project site to more accurately measure where Wind Harvesters should be installed and predict with great acuity the power our turbines will be supplying.

Renewable energy ecosystems can bring big energy in a small area and pick up where another system leaves off if needed. Building sustainable, ecological systems is the future of renewable energy and we believe we are set at the forefront of making this clean energy reality happen.

We are so honored to have been featured in Comstock's magazine for the work we've done in our efforts to harness this untapped renewable wind energy market! We would not have been able to make the strides we have were we not in the Sacramento area, and we are happy to celebrate the innovation that comes out of the region alongside other great companies in the area as well. Cheers to the great Capital Region!

Some entrepreneurs say they prefer investing and working in Sacramento

Crowdfunding may be over, but the mission remains the same - more affordable, clean energy for all. Be sure to visit our website for more info and inquiries - https://windharvest.com

Protecting wildlife is ingrained in the design and details of every project we take on, as much as it is a part of our mission as a whole in our pursuit of supplying cleaner energy. Read more about the ways we strive to be ecologically sound on our website.

Protecting Birds, Bats, and Habitats Closely spaced 3-dimensional H-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) like arrays of Wind Harvesters are not expected to significantly impact wildlife. When VAWTs are installed in the understories of wind farms, they reduce the need to convert more habitat into...
