SheerWind announces field tests of multiple turbines used in a row or series has even greater electrical power output. The INVELOX(TM) system, a new concept in wind power generation, is a large funnel that captures, concentrates, and accelerates wind before delivering it to turbines safely and efficiently located at ground level. By placing 2 turbines in a series in an INVELOX system, power showed an increase of 1.7X when compared to single turbine. In other words, one 1,000 kilowatt turbine-generator system in an INVELOX produces electrical energy for 341 houses, 2 turbines operating in succession produce electrical energy for 579 houses in USA.
