Jore believes they can leverage the CORE motor technology in a windturbinepower generation system at Boulder WindPower in Colorado for residential and commercial deployments.
Simple math shows that a marginal gas or oil well has a power density at least 22 times that of a windturbine while a nuclear power plant has a power density that is more than 8 times that of a solar photovoltaic facility.
The deputy first minister highlighted investments from electronics firm Mitsubishi, Spanish windturbine manufacturer Gamesa and Korean firm Doosan Power Systems.
The company has installed micro-turbines a top light poles at stores in California and Massachusetts that generate between 2 to 3 kilowatts of electricity but Red Bluff is the first facility that will boast a full-sized windturbine like those found on wind farms that generate hundreds of megawatts of power.
