Leviathan Energy is raising US$1 million to certify their patented technology on a large scale. The technology is based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and aerodynamics. By creating computer models of wind flow and each turbine, Leviathan can design deflectors far away from the turbine that make the wind higher velocity and more uniform in the plane of the blades.
