Wind Harvest News and Updates

Wind Harvester's magnet generators safely stored in Concho, OK Last week, two boxed permanent magnet generators completed a journey of nearly 6,000 miles, from Soga's manufacturing facility in Italy, to a storage unit just a few miles from the Lucky Star Casino in Concho, Oklahoma. Wind Harvest engineer Omar Garcia drove from his base in Amarillo, Texas, to El Reno to operate the forklift and get the crates safely under cover. It's the kind of unglamorous, hands-on logistics work that rarely makes headlines, but it represents a real milestone: the components for our two Oklahoma Wind Harvesters™ are now on the ground, and one step closer to being installed. It's worth pausing on why the generator matters so much. Every wind turbine, no matter its shape or height, is ultimately a machine for turning moving air into electricity, and the generator is where that conversion actually happens. [...]

  The drive shaft being machined into the patented hexagonal profile on a horizontal boring mill at Tech-Max Machine, Inc. The drive shafts for Wind Harvester 4.0s are almost to the finish line at Tech-Max Machine (IL).  The photo above shows our IP protected (US Patent No. 12071930) hexagonal drive shaft “end (interface section)” in the step before painting with critical interfaces (such as bearing seats and the hex section) masked or selectively coated Two drive shafts plus two upper and lower bearing housings will soon be sent from Tech-Max’s 100,000 square foot facility in iIllinois to join the three Schaeffler bearings per driveshaft and tower top plates at the drive train assembly facility with Action Machine in Indiana by the end of July.  We are so happy with this invention and the companies like Tech-Max that have the machinery to make its unique shape for many. The main [...]

                                                  Side view of patented blade design DAVIS, CA, UNITED STATES, May 8, 2026 -- Wind Harvest International, Inc. (Wind Harvest), a pioneer in low-altitude, utility-scale vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) technology, announced today that it has filed an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) covering its Reinforced Blade for a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine — the structural innovation fundamental to the company’s commercial wind energy platform. The PCT application (PCT/US26/26856), filed May 6, 2026 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office acting as Receiving Office, claims priority to U.S. Patent No. 12,595,781 B1, granted April 6, 2026. The filing was authorized by patent counsel Jeremy A. Briggs of Briggs IP and processed by Stephen Malik. “This PCT filing marks [...]

Dear Investors and Friends, Over the last few weeks, we have made progress on partnerships and project discussions that we believe could support our goal of achieving certification and pursuing pilot installations as early as 2027. Like an orchard after a long growing season, everything we've been nurturing seems to be ripening at once. Now we will harvest the bounty and bring Wind Harvesters© to the world. In the meanwhile, our Start Engine offering closes at midnight this Friday, April 17. If you have friends who've been watching Wind Harvest from the sidelines, now is the time to alert them. Chair Capital MOU: Potential pathway toward TRL 9 and project finance readiness (subject to milestones and third-party requirements) The best news for potential investors is that big money with significant experience in commercializing new renewable energy technologies is serious about investing in Wind Harvest.  We’ve entered a Memorandum of [...]

London, 14 April 2026 - Chair Capital announces that Wind Harvest International, Inc. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic funding partnership. The MOU provides a structured roadmap for milestone-based capital deployment of up to USD 80M+, positioning Wind Harvest for accelerated growth as it scales its vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) technology across renewable energy markets worldwide. Wind Harvest is advancing large-scale deployments of its vertical-axis wind turbines, targeting 100-megawatt-class renewable energy farms and ecosystem projects designed to operate on or off-grid. A primary focus is deployment on Native American reservations, where tribes can own the renewable energy infrastructure, lease land to data center operators or other high energy using off-takers, and benefit from the 50% federal Investment Tax Credits currently available. The MOU structures [...]

St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands — Wind Harvest and Port Hamilton Refining and Transportation (PHRT) today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) for the development of a renewable energy and battery storage project on the refinery’s coke dock peninsula. The project is intended to enhance energy resilience, reduce operating costs, and support long-term infrastructure reliability. Under the LOI, Wind Harvest would develop a hybrid renewable energy system consisting of up to 6 megawatts of vertical-axis wind turbines, paired with 6 megawatts of solar generation and integrated battery energy storage. The system is designed to provide reliable, on-site power to support refinery operations while reducing emissions and improving redundancy for critical systems. This type of hybrid wind, solar, and battery storage project reflects a growing trend in industrial energy systems, particularly in island and remote environments, where energy resilience, fuel cost reduction, and grid stability are key operational [...]

Last month, Tom Williams, Wind Harvest’s VP of Operations, completed the cleanup and reconciliation of our 2025 financials. Almost immediately after incorporating the updated data into our five-year projections, a synchronicity emerged - and the dam gates opened. Now, our highly capable team is skillfully paddling downstream into a current of opportunity, navigating a fast-evolving market with momentum at our backs. The CTO of Kamaka Global, Karl Gee has been a friend of Wind Harvest since nearly its beginning. Recently, Kamaka brought on Nathan Hart as Kamaka’s Chief Development Officer (CDO). Nathan is a leader in business development with the Cheyenne and Arapaho and other tribes across Oklahoma. Nathan knows that tribes want large renewable energy projects but, in general, dislike tall turbines.  Karl thought that Wind Harvesters would be a solution. The logic of adding Wind Harvesters that are shorter than many of the cottonwood trees that line Oklahoma’s rivers is powerful; wind blows at [...]

[Davis, CA — February 17, 2026] — Wind Harvest International, Inc. today announced the hiring of Pronita Saxena as its new Chief Development Officer (CDO). This marks an important step in the company’s expansion into large-scale renewable energy and AI-infrastructure projects, including its partnership with Kamaka Global. Saxena brings a strong track record of building solutions for startups in energy, water, and waste management. Her experience  supports Wind Harvest’s plans for rapid growth with immediate efforts aimed at tribal nations developing and owning clean energy assets and making use of the U.S 50% Investment Tax Credits still available for renewable energy projects. Saxena’s background and experience position her well to deliver on Wind Harvest’s ambitious growth trajectory. After graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in Economics (with Honors) and Minor in Global Poverty & Practice, Saxena worked with MIT’s Poverty Action Lab in Bangladesh and the Center for Global [...]

[Davis, CA — February 6, 2026] — Wind Harvest International, Inc., a renewable energy technology company specializing in vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs), today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kamaka Global, a global project development firm focused on ESG-aligned infrastructure. The partnership is designed to advance tribal-led renewable energy projects on Indian lands, with an emphasis on long-term ownership, workforce development, and economic sovereignty. Under the MOU, Wind Harvest and Kamaka Global will collaborate to identify, evaluate, and support renewable energy farms on Native American reservations. These projects are intended to be structured so that tribes ultimately own the energy infrastructure, while leveraging federal incentives—most notably the 50% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) available for qualifying projects that begin construction by mid-2026 or are placed in service by the end of 2027. Wind Harvest will serve as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), supplying its Wind Harvester® vertical-axis [...]
