We are testing our WM 10 kW lift turbine in gusty wind conditions. The small WM 100 W drag turbine is installed next to the WM 10 kW, powering a web camera and 4G modem. Test data is captured and stored in Energy Machines™ Cloud. The results are very promising so far :-)

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines with low biodiversity impact made from recyclable materials
About us
EM Wind designs and builds innovative vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) with wired direct-drive generators. The turbines range from small to large scale and can be fit to power anything from limited electrical equipment to small communities. The designs are either drag (Savonius) or lift-based (Darrieus) and vary based on objective, location, and purpose. A Swedish company founded by professors at Uppsala University as Vertical Wind AB in 2002 but was acquired by Energy Machines™ in 2019.

“This isn’t magic or pie in the sky. It’s not new facilities worth billions with uncertain economics. This is heat pumps, and the first heat pump patent was filed in 1856. It’s geothermal energy, it’s heat that already exists. What’s innovative about us is the way we combine the technologies. There are no new inventions.” Nicolas Kastbjerg, our CEO, has been featured in an article discussing Energy Machines’ nomination for EjendomsWatch's Most Innovative Real Estate Company of the Year award. https://lnkd.in/dEm78Hc3 👆 Click here to access the full article and read about Energy Machines' innovative, proven approach to transforming energy in the real estate sector.

We will soon begin building our next, larger lift turbine. The first prototype of the WM 25 kW turbine is scheduled for installation at Fælledby in Copenhagen this winter. Our wing profile manufacturer ProfilGruppen Extrusions AB, has just finalized the extrusion dies and will soon start extruding the profiles for the wings and struts. Check out this nice looking die tool that will form the inner shape of the high strength aluminum wings. #vawt #windturbines

Thanks to TRD Surfaces MicroLock solution, the drive shaft and brake system of our WM 10 kW turbine can handle large torque when the disc brake is applied.
Wind energy applications with TRD MicroLock In order to harness the energy of the wind, you need to convert the kinetic energy of the air to mechanical motion of blades, shafts, couplings and gears. This requires numerous mechanical connections. The shear strength of these connections can be a limiting factor. In that case, you have two options: 1) Increase clamping load; or 2) increase the static friction between the mating surfaces. For many wind applications you want a strong and lightweight design, making it difficult or undesirable to apply higher clamping loads. What to do then? Use a TRD MicroLock solution. Simply by adding MicroLock to your connection, the shear strength is increased by more than 6X. All because of tiny microspikes that engage with the mating surfaces, forming an incredibly strong, micromechanical lock. The image shows a 10 kW vertical axis wind turbine by Energy Machines Wind that benefits from a MicroLock solution in one the clamping positions on the vertical shaft. This enables a lightweight, trimmed design, yet 6x times stronger than the conventional connection. Thanks for letting us share the application, Andreas Gamborg! If you want maximum strength out of your wind energy applications, let us discover how we can help you. https://trdsurfaces.dk/

🍃 Testing of the first WM 10 kW turbine has begun, and the turbine now delivers energy to the grid when spinning! A WM 100 W drag-based turbine has been installed at the site and powers a video camera with live streaming of the WM 10 kW turbine. Last Friday, both turbines could be seen spinning in the mild wind. 💡During testing under different wind conditions, the turbine is only running while remotely supervised. Following the testing phase, the 10kW turbine will begin regular operation and run automatically day and night. 📍Halland County, Sweden The turbine is visible from trains running between Malmö and Gothenburg. #fossilfree #vawt #windturbines #sustainability

Energy Machines’ energy solution to decarbonize 345 Hudson Street, New York, has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. WSJ recognizes the project as a game-changing blueprint for property owners around the country. At the nearly 100-year-old building co-owned by Hines, our integrated heat pump-based solution enables energy to be efficiently stored, moved, and recirculated throughout the property. The building's emissions are expected to reduce by more than 70% annually. “The new system also means avoiding steep fines. Without the changes, [Hines] estimates that the building would face $440,000 a year in tax penalties starting in 2030.” The first project of its kind in New York, the comprehensive retrofit at 345 Hudson aligns with market trends favoring energy-efficient spaces and the growing demand for future-proofed, environmentally conscious buildings. Gratitude to our partners for their excellent collaboration on this important project.
