SheerWind, Inc., an innovator in high-performance, cost-efficient wind energy technology, announces initial field-testing results, which compares INVELOX [1] commercial-grade wind energy generation with the same turbine on a traditional tower-mounted system. The test results indicate that INVELOX [2] significantly outperforms the traditional turbine and is competitive with natural gas and hydroelectric generation by:

• Producing 600% more electrical energy (kWh)
• Operating at wind speeds as low as 1 mile per hour and in low wind regimes (class 1 and 2)
• Reducing installation capital cost to less that $750 per KW
• Increasing energy production capacity to record high of 72%

“This exciting performance superiority over traditional wind and competitiveness with natural gas and hydroelectric generation is attracting significant interest from Fortune 500 and moderately sized companies; government entities; industry experts; and others,” states Dr. Daryoush Allaei [3], CEO of SheerWind, Inc. “Our ability to operate efficiently and effectively in areas never considered viable with traditional wind energy and at costs as low as $10 MWH makes SheerWind a true game-changer in electric power generation.”

SheerWind’s INVELOX [4] wind energy system captures the breeze from an above ground portal and funnels the wind through a tapering passageway that naturally accelerates its flow. This kinetic energy drives the INVELOX [5] generator that operates at ground level. INVELOX [6] has the following advantages:

• Costs less than 1 cent per KWH, making it competitive with natural gas and hydroelectric powered generation
• Requires no government subsidies to be profitable
• Reduces operating cost by 50% of current wind turbine technology
• Minimizes environment, animal, bird and human impact
