The Coupled Vortex Effect
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 vertical axis turbines placed strategically beneath horizontal axis turbines can boost the productivity of HAWTs.
