Research and
Development
Phase
I
- Piezoelectric materials testing for optimal properties, efficiency, durability and economy
- Optimizing scale, aspect ratio, flex, strength, shaft materials and tip weighting for maximum pendulum effect
- Designing wind-capturing tip geometry
- Adapting existing technology for power conditioning / inversion, storage and distribution schemes
Phase II
- Development of full scale proof-of-concept prototype
