The AeroCam helps existing wind farms generate more power. Because propeller-based turbines only operate efficiently in smooth airflows, they must be placed three diameters apart, hundreds of feet above the ground, facing the prevailing wind. In an effort to generate more power from the same amount of land, many of today’s wind farmers are installing even bigger turbines, which must be elevated higher and spaced further apart. These larger turbines pose potential problems for commercial and military radar and produce visual and noise pollution. Because the AeroCam features a lower hub height and smaller footprint, it can withstand turbulent environments – offering a practical, economical way to infill existing farms for greater overall power generation. Using its patented lift-based design, the AeroCam captures abundant surface-wind energy without disrupting the airflows that larger turbines need to operate effectively. Plus, the AeroCam requires no special equipment or cranes, making it easier and less expensive to install and maintain over the long term.
