Alpha 311

How does it work?

Let’s look at a roadside application:

Our turbines are attached to existing lighting columns close to roads, where they can harvest the massive, untapped energy produced by moving vehicles.

Think about the last time a car or truck rushed past you. That power and energy is what we’re collecting.

Cars and trucks aren’t going away, so let’s make them work for the environment and for local communities.

Local energy production serves local demand and reduces transmission costs, and that reduces costs for the end customer.

How the Alpha 311 vertical axis wind turbine works

How is Alpha 311 different?

Local communities receive power

Retrofit design means our turbines can fit onto existing infrastructure (for example, lighting columns)

Smaller than traditional turbines

Cheaper to build and install

360° blades harvest energy from all angles

Recyclable

Generates energy without natural wind

Smart sensors gather granular, localised data
