Magenn Air Rotor System, Mars, is the world’s first high altitude wind turbine. The advantage of this design is that it can reach heights of between 600 and 1,000 feet, capturing wind speeds greater than 28 metres a second, thus enhancing its operational performance.
Sustained by helium, Mars rotates on a horizontal axis, which generates the Magnus Effect. This provides additional lift, which allows it to keep its position in a controlled and restricted location.
Ideal for rural and remote areas, the device’s mobile nature permits it to be rapidly deployed, deflated and relocated without the need for towers and cranes. The turbine can also respond to changing wind patterns, which makes it ideal for disaster situations, such as earthquakes.
