(continued)

(I just realized that this blog is using a name created a while back, which I should explain. Best_est is derived from an acronym (Energy = Strength times Temperature), which is the subject of another blog to be written, but I don't mind using it here.)

(Also, a quick digression on the name "BrainBroom". My great friend Rosemary (who is president of the company), was talking about having ideas one day and said the term out loud, and I thought it was a memorable phrase. Sounds like an engine starting up, revving "vroom vroom", and communicates the idea of "sweeping ideas to life".)

Anyway, back to what we're doing. Many people say don't waste your time working with vertical turbines near the ground -- the strong winds are several hundred feet up in the air, and those are the ones you want to work with. We're trying to make a trade-off. Low-cost instead of high-cost, low maintenance instead of high maintenance, low transmission cost instead of expensive, zero bird and animal threat instead of the opposite -- scale up in multiple units instead of scaling up in tower and blade size. And, put them locally on top of commercial buildings and hilltops. Bingo - commercial electric plant for 20 to 30 houses!

BrainBroom, Inc. has a patent pending, and is building a proof-of-concept prototype. It is called the Hayward-Duda model, and this blog will describe the progress of how it gets built, the results of the testing, and the attempts at improvement.

We recently (Feb. 26th) met with a couple of very helpful S.C.O.R.E. executives (they work with the Small Business Administration [SBA]), and they pointed out some things for us to work on. Sphere: Related Content
