The Kh2.0 diffuser can be moulded from recycled material, and can eventually be itself recycled.
The generator by operating at three times the speed of a conventional turbine literally only needs a third of the copper and importantly similarly a third of the increasingly costly rare earth magnets.
The base design of the tower does not need extensive concrete block foundations and thus saves the considerable amount of CO2 that is a by-product of concrete production.
In environmental terms, the low profile of the Kh2.0 turbine reduces the visual impact. The small blades within the shroud avoid the flicker effect which can affect planning. The absence of blade tip vortices reduces noise and without a
single tower that obstructs the air flow there is no low frequency ‘whump’ sound.
A diffuser identifies the turbines danger zone reducing the risk of bird strikes.
