The 30kW prototype turbine spans 19 meters in total length and will showcase the key elements of the WWW design. These elements include two counter-rotating blade sets on a vertical axis, a generator positioned at the bottom of the structure, and the capacity for the turbine to tilt with the wind, akin to a sailboat.
Following the prototype, the next phase involves a 1.2MW pilot set to undergo testing in early 2025. WWW aims to launch a commercial 24 MW turbine before 2030. Furthermore, the design by WWW allows for the scaling of turbines beyond 40MW.
