SheerWind

Simply a Better Way to Harvest Wind

SheerWind is an energy technology company that has developed INVELOX, an innovative wind power generation system that significantly outperforms traditional wind turbines. This unique, patented funnel technology captures, concentrates, and accelerates wind energy, delivering superior power output at reduced costs. It also solves the major problems that have so far undermined the wind industry, such as low turbine reliability, intermittency issues, and adverse environmental impact.

With breakthrough performance and reduced costs, SheerWind is changing the course of power generation. INVELOX promises to transform the power industry, bringing affordable energy to anyone—anywhere.

SheerWind was founded in 2010 by Dr. Daryoush Allaei, a scientist and entrepreneur who holds more than 20 U.S. and 15 international patents. The company is located in Chaska, Minnesota.

How INVELOX Works 

1. Wind is captured at the top of the funnel shaped INVELOX system. The omnidirectional intake area allows wind collection from any direction

2. Wind is funneled through the system

3. Wind is concentrated and further accelerated in the Venturi Effect* section of the INVELOX system. *The Venturi effect is the phenomenon that occurs when a fluid that is flowing through a pipe is forced through a narrow section, resulting in a pressure decrease and a velocity increase.

4. Wind is delivered to the turbine/generators to convert the accelerated wind to electrical power. INVELOX is the first single wind tower capable of powering multiple turbines in a row or series

5. Diffuser returns wind to nature

This system of capturing, concentrating, accelerating, and harvesting wind power in a funnel is a patented system we call INVELOX™ (for INcreased VELocity). SheerWind is a wind power generation company that is poised to turn wind power into a major power generation player. SheerWind’s INVELOX is a solution that utilizes current wind power turbines and rotors but brings them to ground level for easier, safer, and cheaper operation and maintenance. Multiple turbines can be used in a row or series increasing output exponentially for each tower.

Customers

SheerWind is dedicated to making clean, reliable wind-based energy available to anyone—anywhere.
We are committed to lowering energy costs, reducing carbon footprints, improving energy security,
and promoting a better future globally.

SheerWind’s patented INVELOX technology will develop through multiple stages. Stage one INVELOX functions
as a wind delivery system that captures, accelerates, and delivers wind at its optimum kinetic energy to an off-the-shelf third party turbine. In the future, SheerWind will develop its own high speed rotating and non-rotating turbines and will offer comprehensive energy systems that combine wind with solar, geothermal, and fossil fuels
in a single solution.

SheerWind’s patented technology is suitable to many market segments:

1) Onshore/offshore utility-scale wind farms (0.5-7.0 Megawatts)
2) Small-wind systems for buildings and off-the-grid applications (25-500 Kilowatts)
3) Micro-wind power generation for military, FEMA, homeland security,
and consumer products (100-5,000 Watts).
• INVELOX systems can be built in commercial, passenger and military vehicles
as an assist power system to maintain charge in batteries of electrical or hybrid vehicles.
• Micro-power generation includes outdoor wind lights (versus solar) and street wind lights.
The possibilities are limitless.

SheerWind’s INVELOX technology opens doors to markets not possible with traditional wind technology.
With INVELOX, wind power generation suppliers can access regions that have never before been viable.
With low cut-in speeds of approximately 2 mph and safely functioning in populated areas, INVELOX promises to improve reliability and allow wind power installations at close range to the end user.

Our customers are the key to this vision. We look forward to building partnerships
that strengthen and realize our goals.
