The patented 3D Wind Device combines wind, thermals, and vertical air currents for efficient decentralized energy generation. It is part of Smart Energy Pay's long-term technology initiative to connect sustainable energy technologies with the Smart Energy Pay Chain and digital finance solutions.
Slow-rotating design with reduced infrasound, low noise levels, and significantly lower foundation requirements. Risks such as bird strikes are minimized.
The combination of different air currents enables high energy yield – even in variable wind conditions.
Uses wind, thermals, and vertical air currents simultaneously or individually for efficient energy generation.
The patented concept uses an innovative intelligent flow principle. Elements of modern aerodynamics support the efficient use of wind, thermals, and vertical air currents.
The ground-level generator and modular design simplify installation, maintenance, and logistics.
The robust construction reduces mechanical wear and is designed for reliable operation even under demanding weather conditions.
The combination of different air currents enables high energy yield – especially in low or variable wind conditions.
These characteristics are based on a novel flow concept that combines wind, thermals, and vertical air currents. As a result, the 3D Wind Device opens up areas of application where conventional wind turbines reach technical or economic limits.
By combining wind, thermals, and vertical air currents, the 3D Wind Device achieves a nominal output of up to 40 MW per unit. The high energy yield opens up new possibilities and creates the foundation for efficient, decentralized energy supply across a wide range of applications.
