White Paper on the possibility to overcome the Betz Limit in wind power extraction

In our White Paper we demonstrate that the wind power extraction can go beyond the Betz Limit, without contradicting in any way Betz’s Law. The ability of wind turbines technologies to go beyond the Betz Limit will result in future powerful wind turbines having much smaller dimensions compared to the current large windmills.
Our recent patent application discloses a device able to extract the wind energy beyond the Betz Limit.

Progress Struggles

This year at Tesnic we have made tremendous progress from a technology point of view.
We are proud to announce that the Tesnic turbine incorporates now an additional efficiency increase patent pending concept, as well as a new modular design for easier manufacturing and installation.

Our most imperative goal is to start the commercial phase and to offer these high efficient turbines on the market as soon as possible. In fact we will be ready, in a 3 months timeline, to produce the first 4kW turbines (shown in the attached picture) as soon as we get the appropriate financing.

Unfortunately, recent unexpected and furtive financing struggles cast a shadow on the planned timelines.

In spite of the past experiences in the financing area, we are looking forward with confidence. We have already started discussions with other private financing parties and hopefully these struggles will end before long.

Achieved important milestone in testing the TESNIC technology

We have succesfully completed a series of tests that conducted to the optimisation of our turbine. Moreover, the tests clearly demonstrated the tremendous effect of the stacked disks in extracting the wind energy.
In identical tests conditions, the performances of a Darrieus configuration were greatly surpassed by the Tesnic turbine.

May 2007
CFD Simulations successfully completed

After more than five months of intensive CFD simulations using the CFX TASC flow tool, we are extremely pleased with the results and ready to start the next phase.

The conclusion of these simulations was that the TESNIC turbine has the ability to extract the wind power with efficiency in the vicinity of the Betz limit.

The next step is to validate the simulation results in wind tunnel tests, as well as in real life tests.
