Right now we're targeting Q4 2026. Our engineers expect to have a fleet of prototypes available in 6-12 months at which point we'll test until we're confident the turbine is effective and safe.

We're targeting a rating of 2 kW by NREL standards for a large commercial model targeting warehouses, data centers, grocery stores, apartments, etc. A residential model is targeted at 500 W released simultaneously or shortly after depending on how much tweaking is needed to scale it down.

The 2 kW turbine is expected to be between 10-15 ft (3-4.5 m) tall. Residential is expected to be around 5-6 ft (<3 m) tall.

Yes, we plan to make them available for direct purchase. If you're a DIYer or have someone to install it for you, you'll be able to purchase and install it yourself. Note: a commercial version is planned first with a smaller residential model either concurrently or shortly after depending on the complexity of scaling it down.

Final materials depend on the strength and durability requirements shown in the final engineering of the turbine, as well as manufacturability, weight, etc. Top contenders right now are sheet metal, fiberglass, or possibly some blow molded plastic, particularly for the smaller residential model.

Performance data will be available during testing of the final marketable prototypes (6-12 months) which will give us the final specs. Our last prototype was created to give us confidence that our 3rd party engineers came up with a design that operates in the real world like they said it would. It proved it could handle incoming air from 360 and accelerate it within the area that the blade will reside. 

I hope and expect it to as the design is further refined in final engineering. While I can't say for sure, I imagine us being able to either increase power for the size, decrease size for the power, or perhaps increase both depending on feedback as we move forward (for the commercial version at least).

We're in discussions with 3rd party engineers and in early talks with manufacturers to get quotes to get to market. We'll need to raise capital to fund these final costs. The current estimate from our partners is around $2 million USD, though we'll most likely have a concrete answer shortly.
