About our Company
Large Wind Turbines
Pirate Wind Turbines is pioneering the development of industry-changing wind turbine generator technology, redefining the benchmarks for efficiency, reliability, and performance across the industry.
Preliminary modeling suggests our innovation has the potential to increase energy output from large-scale wind turbines by approximately 7–13% in low wind conditions — a transformative gain in underperforming wind regions.
We are actively seeking research funding to advance this technology through large-scale validation and testing.
Small Wind Turbines
This is our mobile testing platform, integrated into a grill-guard on our truck. It enables dynamic evaluation of turbine performance across varying wind speeds during road trials, as well as in controlled coastal environments where wind conditions are more consistent.
Our development efforts are focused on next-generation small wind turbines engineered to initiate power generation at lower wind speeds than conventional models. In high wind scenarios, our systems self-regulates output without the need for traditional electronic braking systems or mechanical blade furling.
We have successfully constructed multiple proof-of-concept units featuring programmable output voltage parameters and configurable high-voltage limits.
Successes & Testing
Our technology has progressed through a rigorous and methodical development process.
1. Initial hypothesis testing was conducted at a world-renowned research institute in San Antonio, Texas, validating core performance principles.
2. Followed by our first-place recognition in an innovation competition at Texas State University, underscoring the disruptive potential of our design.
3. We've also conducted extensive multi-year field testing in real-world conditions at a Texas ranch.
We are now entering a critical phase of performance validation, capturing operational data across diverse environmental conditions. Our mobile and stationary platforms are equipped with datalogging equipment and advanced sensors to monitor:
- Wind speed
- Generator shaft RPM
- Voltage output
- Current (amperage) output
