Uprise Energy was selected to partake in the “VERGE Accelerate” online event this year, also referred to as “VERGE 20.” The event is a program designed to accelerate the clean economy by helping startups who have innovative new ideas and technology. The VERGE series of events is put on by GreenBiz, a media and events company that is highly respected in the environmental sustainability industry. From the VERGE 20 website:
We did something that has never been done before!
Wind Turbine Performance Exceeding Expectations
We have very exciting news to share! One of the primary benefits of our Portable Wind Turbine is the fact that it will generate electricity in much lower wind speed conditions than traditional wind turbines. This is possible due to many factors, but two key features are: the efficiency of our wind blade design and our proprietary Dancing with the Wind technology.
Showcasing Autonomous Control
Today we are sharing a video showcasing the way our Portable Wind Turbine applies our proprietary technology to autonomously control the rotor RPM to ensure that the optimum wind speed to tip speed ratio is maintained. This is done to ensure that we are capturing the maximum power possible from the kinetic energy provided by the wind. That is a lot of technical speak for what we refer to as “Dancing With the Wind.”
USAF Base of the Future virtual showcase wrap up
The AFWERX Fusion 2020 Showcase - building the Base of the Future - is now in the books and we want to share what a great experience Uprise Energy had sharing our Portable Wind Turbine with the US Air Force, the US Department of Defense, US Allied Forces from around the world and other innovative companies that were invited to the Showcase.
