The SPIRALAIRFOIL™

Wind Turbine 

 INTRODUCTION 

Welcome to SpiralAirFoil.  We are a Hillsborough, New Hampshire company. 

We believe in three things that are important to you: 

  • The world needs to change the way energy is produced and consumed.
  • A United States company should stay here and employ a skilled local workforce.
  • Those customers receive the highest quality and most enduring product possible.

 A good company is not something to be grown, sold to the highest bidder and moved overseas.  We believe that our company will thrive because we are dedicated to employing the best of the Northern New England labor force.  

ABOUT SPIRALAIRFOIL AND OUR PRODUCT 

Back in 1923 Philo Farnsworth was tending his rows and rows of potatoes when he discovered electronic scanning and invented television. 

Now, Dan Parker, doing carpentry, saw the potential of the double helix as a way to generate electricity.  Parker labored for three years developing practical solutions for wind and hydropower based on the helix.  The result is a simple turbine that safely converts wind energy to electricity even under the slightest breeze.

PROPELLERS VS. TURBINES

When we think of wind power we conjure images of tall three bladed propellers turning placidly.  While beautiful to look at they are expensive to build and they threaten migrating birds even more than blue glass skyscrapers.  So while three bladed propellers were great for WWII bombers the helix turbine is a much more elegant and practical approach to wind power.  The SpiralAirFoil is far more efficient than propeller wind machines.  SpiralAirFoil is 50% more efficient than propellers as shown in a 95-year-old formula from the German physicist, Albert Betz.  SpiralAirFoil turbines also operate in lower wind speeds-1.5-to-2 mph vs. the 7-to-10 mph needed for the older technology. 

Where we are:

Several evaluation units have been built and tested for performance in the wind. This has resulted in a smaller but accurate version of the turbine we plan to build as our first product.

  • We have all of the drawings and documents to build 3 prototypes
  • Prototypes to be used for:
    • Independent performance testing
    • Environmental testing
    • Last minute design improvements

This insures our future customers get a product that meets or exceeds its claims. 

Where we are going:

We have applied for both State and federal grants to get us moving into the next phase, which is to start producing and selling this turbine around the world. This means:

  • Quality jobs in New Hampshire and its sister states.
  • Jobs that will stay in the United States
  • Less dependence of fossil and nuclear fuels.
  • Less green house gasses.
  • More independence from large utilities and corporations.

Again it is our intent to make this a United States company and employ United States workers! 

Request for Donations: 

In order to take the most effective advantage of the forthcoming grant money, the team at SpiralAirFoil needs to:

  • Raise $15,000 through donations
  • Build 3 pre-production prototypes
  • Make arrangements for independent agency testing of these prototypes.

To make this happen, we are asking for your support and donations of not less than $2 and not more than $5. Please make checks payable to:

                                    SpiralAirfoil
                                    17 Holman Street
                                    Hillsborough, NH 03244

We are starting to receive inquiries regarding large “investments.”  We are working with an attorney to work out the details of such investments. 

Conclusion:

The team here has been donating their time, efforts, and office/lab space without compensation. Your donations will go only to the direct cost of procurement of parts and materials, the fabrication of 3 units and the beginning of formal testing.

Once donations start coming in, we will post the progress of the fundraising, the procurement, build activities, and fact of your help on our web site (privacy will be respected)   www.SpiralAirfoil.com   where you may monitor the progress being made. I believe that we can make a positive difference to the environmental condition of our planet and give our children and grandchildren a better place than the way we found it. 
 

Yours truly,      ~~~ Dan Parker
