CGE Energy completes one-tenth scale WIND-e20 turbine prototype

By Michelle Froese | September 7, 2017

CGE Energy, Inc., an engineering company with no capital cost energy solutions, announced the completion of a one-tenth scale working demonstration unit of its WIND-e20 vertical-axis wind turbine.

WINDe20 turbine

The WIND•e20 is a vertical-axis wind turbine designed for onsite energy generation. Depending on the site, the turbine can produce up to 65 kW of energy. Watch the video of the WIND-e20 demonstration unit in operation, here.

WIND-e20, an innovative vertical-axis wind turbine, designed for distributed onsite energy generation. At 105 feet in height, this patented technology hurdles many of the barriers that face traditional wind turbines.

With the 10-foot WIND-e20 prototype, CGE Energy can visually demonstrate the complete innovative installation process to interested parties that would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the full-sized turbine in person.

Viewers can witness the demonstration unit hydraulically raise from ground level without the need of a crane, the blades remotely open to take their patented shape and watch the turbine spin at an optimal rotation speed of 80-RPM.

To enable these live demonstrations of the WIND-e20, CGE Energy’s engineering team, with assistance from Roush Industries, uses the most advanced rapid prototyping technologies to fabricate the demonstration unit. Being well-equipped, Roush not only provides prototyped components for the demonstration units but also components of the 105-foot production turbines.

The CGE and Roush teams currently work on building other demonstrations units to facilitate pre-sales of the production WIND-e20 turbines.
