THE SYSTEM


The WINDWALKER system’s utilization of wind, a benign and replenishable source of power, has no polluting emissions, no global warming green-house gases, and no contaminating residue such as those produced by burning fossil fuel or nuclear power. Furthermore, the absence of the necessity for WINDWALKER to burn fuel to produce energy eliminates a great deal of expense that would otherwise have to be considered in the overall cost of producing electricity.

The WINDWALKER system will create large quantities of environmentally sustainable energy ranging from several hundred to several thousand megawatts of firm and dispatchable base load power. WINDWALKER’s ability to produce large amounts of power from small or large scale power plants frees it from bottom line constraints which have inhibited others in their development of wind driven electrical energy systems.

The WINDWALKER system’s uniqueness from others is WINDWALKER’S inherent ability to accelerate the speed of the wind. The energy available in a wind stream being proportional to the cube of its speed means, in layman’s terms, that by doubling the mean wind speed there is eight times as much available power. The WINDWALKER system can double the speed of the wind many times over; thereby, increasing the power output exponentially.

The WINDWALKER system carefully controls the velocity of air flow to create a continuous base load source of electrical power which would be available 24 hours a day rather than the variable supplemental wind power produced from current technologies such as wind mills which rely on seasonal wind patterns. With WINDWALKER’s ability to accelerate any given mean wind speed day or night we have, for the first time in history, harnessed the power to control the wind and produce constant base load and dispatchable power 24 hours a day, every day, anywhere in the world.

The WINDWALKER system’s unique design allows the air passing through the electrical field to carry with it a by product known as ozone. (0 to 5% of a given volume of air depending on the type of generating equipment used). Because of the proximity in height in relation to the upper atmosphere where the air carrying the ozone would exit (above ½ mile high), the potential exists for a unique and very positive impact on our environment.

The advent of the WINDWALKER system at this juncture and time in history places it in a unique and crucial position in addressing the growing concern over the accelerated use of fossil fuel powered generating plants not only due to the depletion of these resources but also their inherent adverse impact on the environment. There are currently laws being enacted that will ultimately be enforced throughout the world which will compel the Industry to switch to renewable energy based systems. After all is said and done the ones left standing will be those whose modus operandi is based on a benign, environmentally friendly resource - Wind!

The WINDWALKER electrical energy system, in the research and development phase for over a quarter of a century, is a shrouded system vertically inclined. Air flows into the system at its base and is accelerated. The kinetic energy produced is then extracted by means of an electrical generation system. It is the most commercially viable and environmentally sustainable system ever developed.

WINDWALKER has a number of advantages when compared to fossil-fuel fired facilities. It provides a hedge against increases in fuel prices and related costs such as carbon or fuel taxes, and decreases in fuel availability. In addition, wind power is a domestic energy resource that, for many countries, reduces the burden of hard currency expenditures for imported fossil fuels. A WINDWALKER facility can be built in small scale increments having relatively short construction cycles, resulting in less risk of an inappropriately sized facility and lower or no regulatory risks.

“We are talking about twenty-first century technology here in terms of the generating equipment, in terms of what this facility would do as a power supply.”  - Mr. Timothy Boe - International Award Winning Architect

“Most renewable energy technologies because of their nature were technologies pretty small in size. A large renewable energy project these days is about 100-200 Megawatts. That’s a very large project. The vast majority of renewable energy projects are 25 Megawatts or less. When you have a technology that can have as its basis a power plant that can be sized at 2000 Megawatts, 2500 Megawatts, 4000 Megawatts you are talking about an exponential increase in the actual energy that is generated using a very benign ecologically sensitive resource, wind.” – Les Garden / United States Department of Commerce-retired (Recognized expert on renewable energy)


“Now if that blade system at the same time could be shrouded so that there are no tip losses then there are considerable increases in efficiency and the controllability of the wind as it goes through that shrouded system. At the base of a stack system like the WINDWALKER system, if the wind were coming in at let’s say 15 miles per hour, and if we move up that stack where we could increase the wind to 30-mph, that is double the wind speed. Then we could at that point extract eight times the power that we could at the 15-mph wind coming in. You can extend this all the way up the stack system as you look at higher positions along the stack system.” – Dr. Robert Oetting / Professor Emeritus - Aeronautical Engineering

“The beauty of the WINDWALKER is that besides being large in size it also manages to both manipulate and in a sense control the wind so that your resources are always there. The design takes a natural resource that is always with us. There is always wind. It may be very light in velocity but it is always there. And the WINDWALKER can take that and actually size it and control it so that you can generate large amounts of electricity from it. It is very exciting.” – Mr. Les Garden / United States Department of Commerce-retired (Recognized expert on renewable energy)
