Enviro-Energies Holdings, Inc., with roots in both the United States and Canada, is the exclusive worldwide license holder for the manufacturing and distribution of the patented Magnetic (MagLev) Vertical Axis Wind Turbines™ (MVAWTs™). After several years of MVAWT™ prototype development and testing, in January of 2009, Enviro-Energies engaged Performance Assembly Solutions (PAS) and its minority owner, Roush Enterprises based in Livonia, MI, to perform in-depth Computational Fluid Dynamics testing and Finite Element Analysis, as well as to provide support for Enviro-Energies’ engineering designs and improvements, investigation of manufacturing feasibility and the achievement of full scale production of the Enviro-Energies MVAWTs™. The relationship with PAS and Roush has greatly strengthened Enviro-Energies’ grip on achieving its goal of allowing as many people as possible the ability to harness and utilize wind energy in an effective, dependable and efficient manner where they live, work and play, while working toward its parallel goal of creating thousands of jobs throughout North America.

Vertical Wind AB

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Vertical Wind AB has developed a new and exciting wind power technology based on a vertical axis wind turbine with a cable-wound direct driven generator. The turbine does not need a pitch or a yawing mechanism and the direct driven generator eliminates the need of a gearbox. The robust and simple technology with few moving and sensitive parts compared to conventional wind turbines, gives a higher availability and reliability as well as lower cost for maintenance. Furthermore, this type of wind turbine is quieter than its horizontal counterpart.
