A £multi-billion market running on dirty energy

1.5M+ Telecom towers globally off-grid or on bad-grid

Their only reliable power source today is a polluting diesel generator.

20k+ UK Rail track miles needing off-grid power

Level crossings, signalling, comms — all running on diesel.

25k+ UK schools and hospitals requiring green energy

PSDS Phase 4 funding live. Demand is there. Technology was not.

Fuel Logistics & Theft

Remote sites require constant re-fuelling. Fuel theft is endemic in developing markets, driving costs far beyond estimates. The diesel supply chain is fragile, expensive, and environmentally damaging.

High Maintenance OPEX

Diesel generators require frequent servicing. For tower operators, energy costs represent a major and growing share of total OPEX — typically the single largest line item at off-grid sites.

Regulatory & ESG Pressure

Operators face tightening carbon mandates. Net-zero commitments require credible solutions — and diesel is not one of them. BT, Vodafone and Network Rail all have 2040 carbon-neutral targets.

Conventional Wind Turbines Don't Fit

HAWTs need smooth, unidirectional airflow, clearance of 15–30m, and ground conditions incompatible with telecom compounds and rail corridors. Existing VAWTs are inefficient or dangerous.

The world's only active-pitch vertical axis wind turbine

Unlike every other VAWT, WindSurf™ continuously and independently adjusts the pitch angle of each aerofoil blade in real time — like an expert sailor trimming a sail — extracting maximum power from every shift in wind speed and direction. This is the fundamental breakthrough that no competitor has yet commercialised.

CFD vs recorded efficiency

Aerodynamic efficiency (Cp) vs TSR — CFD predictions vs real-world recorded data. Real-world results tracking predicted performance.

Cp vs Wind Speed scatter plot

Data point plot: Aerodynamic efficiency % (Cp) vs wind speed, coloured by Tip Speed Ratio (TSR). Consistent 40–65% efficiency band achieved.

Why Active-Pitch Wins

Fixed-pitch VAWTs stall in variable wind. Active-pitch continuously optimises the angle of attack on every blade — delivering >40% efficiency vs 12–40% for all competitors. CFD-validated and confirmed by WS133 real-world test data.

Works Where Others Cannot

Turbulent sites, rooftops, rail trackside, telecom compounds — locations where HAWTs and fixed-pitch VAWTs simply cannot operate. The WindSurf™ excels precisely where the market need is greatest.

Inherent Fail-Safe

Cannot spin without the control system active. Power loss = safe stop. Storm Éowyn (January 2025): 100mph+ gusts at the test site — the WS133 demonstrator survived undamaged, blades simply flagging in the wind.

Near-Silent Operation

No gearbox. Brushless direct-drive generator. Zero-cogging design. Low rotation speed. Suitable for urban, rail-side and compound installations where noise is an absolute deal-breaker for conventional turbines.

Modular & Scalable

No concrete bases. Assembled on-site 'Lego style' without specialist crews. Core physics scale from the 6.4kW WS213 urban unit to multi-megawatt offshore platforms. Same IP covers tidal flow applications.

8 Years of R&D Behind It

Originally developed by Swift TG Energy. £2.8M+ prior investment. IEC 64100-2 Class III certified. Patent co-authored with Swift Technology Group. The WS133 16.5kW demonstrator has confirmed all CFD predictions.
