PUERTO PLATA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC , Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MITU Resources Inc. (“MTUU” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: MTUU), today provided its report highlighting the distinct advantages of its WindShark self-starting vertical axis wind turbine technologies.
Wind power is one of most prolific types of renewable energy available, but its use and consumer adoption has been severely hampered by several environmental and design factors. Large wind turbines are costly, expensive to maintain, and thus limited in deployment, but generally spin slowly so they are safe for birds and bats. Micro wind turbines are reasonably cost effective, in the $500 to $1500 range, but most don’t start producing power until wind speeds reach about 7 mph, and don’t hit peak power until over 30 mph. They generally quite noisy, so they are not desirable in residential areas, and they usually spin fast, so are not safe for birds and bats.
WindShark’s unique shark gill feature and other design improvements effectively overcome many of the limitations of traditional windmills. WindShark’s vertical axis design with three curved helical blades captures airflow from any wind direction. This is made possible by proprietary scallops and slots that enable each WindShark blade to produce energy when both moving into and away from the wind as they rotate around a central vertical axis. These design innovations enable the WindShark to start generating power at wind speeds below 2 mph and reach peak efficiencies between 6 to 10 mph. No other commercially available vertical axis wind turbine can achieve this.
WindShark’s design has also shown extraordinary energy generation efficiency improvements over traditional turbine design. Based on in-house testing, WindShark efficiency is approaching the upper limits indicated by “Betz’s Law” which governs the maximum energy that can be extracted from the wind, regardless of turbine design. Most utility scale wind turbines peak at about 75% of Betz’s limits. This huge improvement in energy generation efficiency should greatly expand the number potential applications for WindShark to include many that were previously considered impractical and/or uneconomical.
Another significant improvement of WindShark’s unique blade design is that the lateral loads on the vertical axis are negligible, which are expected to significantly reduce maintenance costs.
Mr. Simeon Leonardo Reyes Francisco, CEO of MITU Resources, commented, “Until now, only 25% of the continental U.S.A. had adequate sustained winds to make conventional small wind turbines economically viable. WindShark, due to its innovative blade design and ability to harvest energy from relatively low speed winds, is able to deploy economically in as much three times as many locations compared to conventional small wind turbines. This huge increase in the potential geographic market for wind power, combined with the fact that WindShark is also attractive to look at, doesn't harm birds or bats, and is very affordable, make it an ideal power generation solution for many mass-market applications. We are confident that many renewable energy experts and consumers will agree.”
