Traditional wind turbines are increasingly less cost-competitive and difficult to construct. Prices leveled off a few years ago and in 2023 prices actually started to increase, and they are still going up. The reason is that HAWTS have primarily gotten cheaper by getting bigger. But you can’t increase scale endlessly. Furthermore, HAWT prices are high because they are manufactured in low-volume, with specialized materials, shipped via specialized transportation networks, put up with some of the largest cranes in the world, and with specially trained crews who are trained to work at incredible heights.
In contrast, Airloom turbines can produce low-cost energy that is competitive, even without subsidies. This is because Airloom is made with mass manufacturable parts, utilizing common materials like steel and aluminum, shipped in standard transportation networks (containers), and put up with forklifts instead of cranes.
1) Selected for an SBIR Direct to Phase II in August 2024.
2) Submitted for 2x SBIR Direct to Phase II in June 2025 with signatory from the Department of Air Force Director of Energy Assurance (the office in the Pentagon responsible for providing resilient energy to all USAF and USSF bases)
3) We are just about to onboard our first customer - this will be for our 2025 pilot project (funds needed to do this)
4) We are negotiating a contract for our 2027 commercial demo
Airloom will validate power production with it’s 2025 commercial pilot. This system will provide data validation of power production and capital costs of a megawatt-scale system. The pilot will also generate first revenue.
Airloom built and operated a prototype turbine in Wyoming that validated system architecture, power production and concept of operations.
