We can solve the energy crisis :We can solve the energy crisis now


In spite of what you’ve been told… :In spite of what you’ve been told… We can be a self-sufficient energy producer. We can be energy independent from other countries. We can set an example for the rest of the world. We can begin to heal the environment. We can produce clean energy.


And we don’t have to wait :And we don’t have to wait We don’t have to wait 10-25 years to begin to have a real impact. We don’t have to continue to depend on fossil fuels. We don’t have to sacrifice our national security. We don’t have to continue to send 100’s of billions to countries that use our money to do us harm. We don’t have to continue to damage the environment.


Why have we not been able to fix our energy problems? :Why have we not been able to fix our energy problems? Corporate self-interest Government agendas driven more by political expediency rather than a real desire and focus on improving lives Institutional stagnation that benefits from retaining and continuing the status quo, rather than affecting positive change


What keeps us from making significant progress? :What keeps us from making significant progress? The inability of private and government institutions to look at the big picture – solutions until now have been ineffective and disjointed Wasting time, effort and money on dead-end technologies A purposely misinformed public that is becoming increasingly discouraged and impatient Unsustainable economics No realistic long-term (25 year) plan


Let’s start talking about clear, realistic steps toward solving the energy crisis… :Let’s start talking about clear, realistic steps toward solving the energy crisis…


Start by using sustainable technologies. :Start by using sustainable technologies. How do we define a sustainable technology? One that does not require huge changes to existing infrastructure. One that is quick and inexpensive to deploy. One that makes economic sense in both the short and long-term. One that produces minimal environmental impact or even improves the environment


What’s the goal? :What’s the goal? Develop a realistic 25 year plan based on new (rather than old) strategies and technologies. Strategically utilize new technologies as they’re proven. Begin to develop a more decentralized grid generation system Create a positive legacy for our children. Implement energy production methods holistically, rather than as segmented and unrelated. Create a “green energy campus”.


What is a “green energy campus”? :What is a “green energy campus”? Takes a comprehensive, big-picture approach to energy production Integrates technology Solves systemic problems Creates improved efficiencies Eliminates/minimizes internal waste Utilizes waste products from other industries to produce energy


The green energy campus ties multiple energy generation methods together :The green energy campus ties multiple energy generation methods together Excess wind energy powers hydrogen production. Hydrogen is used to generate electricity and create heat. Carbon capture allows organic material to be used to create bio-fuels. Other technologies can be integrated – working toward a complete, green energy cycle.


It begins with wind :It begins with wind Lowest cost per green watt to deploy Plentiful wind resources High output


Slide 12:Why not use existing windmill technology?


Slide 13:Questionable environmental impact Noise Landscape domination Made from non-recyclable materials Reliance on government subsidies Lengthy time to recoup investment Time-consuming and expensive to build Difficult and expensive to maintain Limited operational range Why not use existing windmill technology?


Wind Sail Receptor :Wind Sail Receptor Environmentally friendly Minimal visual impact Recyclable materials Virtually no noise Economically sustainable Half the price to build and maintain – same output Much shorter ROI Expanded operational range


Comments from NASA about wind energy :Comments from NASA about wind energy “One can look at two or three blade windmills and see that most of the wind goes between the blades without effect.” “Windmills for generating electricity would be much more practical than assumed, except that their efficiency is not being properly utilized.” “The windmills tested by the experimenters would not use low velocity wind. The minimum wind speed required by their "best" designs required more than 15 mph wind speed. There is no reason why 5-10 mph winds could not be utilized to create highly efficient windmills for generating electricity.”


Improved efficiency :Improved efficiency Standard Windmill Operational Range Wind Sail Receptor Operational Range


Size comparison :Size comparison Most windmills are over 200 feet tall with 100 foot blades. (The largest are over 600 feet tall with 200 foot blades.) Wind Sail Receptor is under 65 feet tall with 14 foot blades. Blades can even be color matched to surrounding terrain. Is bigger really better? Which would be cheaper to build and maintain?


Why is the Wind Sail Receptor (WSR) a better wind solution? :WSR is at least 6 times as more efficient than the current wind generators. WSR is much smaller and can easily be maintained by a two man crew without a large crane. WSR will pay for itself in the short-term without government subsidies or grants. Less expensive to build and maintain. Why is the Wind Sail Receptor (WSR) a better wind solution?


Wind Sail Receptor :Wind Sail Receptor The most environmentally friendly Least expensive (per watt) Lowest maintenance cost Highest output Widest operating range Quietest Simplest design Uses recyclable blades


Finally… :Finally… We appreciate you taking the time to look at what we’re doing. We need your help to support these emerging technologies. Please contact us for information on what you can do to assist in helping promote new technologies that can change peoples’ lives now… Not 25 years from now.
