The Concept

Kinetic Harvest has invented a vortex based diffuser (patent pending). This technology, ideal for ‘small wind’ generation, increases power 5 fold compared to an open rotor wind turbine of similar size.

Accelerating the wind through a duct starts the generator spinning sooner and faster. This means the turbine can be smaller and lighter.

Since the turbine is more compact, it costs less to manufacture and install.

  The Kh2.0 diffuser has achieved what is believed to be a record wind speed augmentation factor of 1.71 which equates by the cube rule to a power increase of 500% compared to an equal diameter open rotor. And then there are the collateral benefits.

  An open rotor wind turbine can only extract a maximum of 59% [...]
