Linear Energy: Reducing the cost of wind energy

Our mission is to lower the cost of producing wind energy

By improving efficiency and reducing failure rates and lowering maintenance costs. To become the new industrial standard for generating wind energy.

Gemini

We have built a generator that eliminates the need for gears and drive trains, reducing the cost of producing wind energy.

The initial prototype has completed by the Engineering Department Of Durham University & Spargo Engineering, along with feasibility report.

Q1 2023: Phase 1 – Bringing Gemini from TRL4 to TRL6 (Technology Readiness Level)

Q2 2023: Phase 2 – Bringing Gemini to TRL8 – 9

Key benefits

Eliminates the need for gears and drive trains

Provides ongoing generation regardless of failures

Allows for repair in all weather conditions

Removes the need for specialist “heavy lift” maintenance equipment

Increased efficiency and built-in redundancy

Individual rotors are programmed to come “on” and “offline” to match the prevailing wind speed and / or the demand for power. Individual rotors are programmed to come “on” and “offline” to match the prevailing wind speed and / or the demand for power.
