Necessity… the mother of invention. Plato
Almost all the inventions (so far), happened due to some necessity. The crucial challenge, humans face at present is to find an alternative source of energy rather than rely on fossil fuels, due to the limited availability and ill effects it impinges upon planet earth.Innovative ideas struck human brains and end up in new inventions.One such marvel is
MARS – Magenn Air Rotor System.
MARS Megann Air Rotor System
Magenn Power’s MARS is a Wind Power Anywhere solution with distinct advantages over existing Conventional Wind Turbines and Diesel Generating Systems.
MARS is a lighter-than-air tethered wind turbine that rotates about a horizontal axis in response to wind, generating electrical energy.
This electrical energy is transferred down the 1000-foot tether for immediate use, or to a set of batteries for later use, or to the power grid. Helium sustains MARS and allows it to ascend to a higher altitude than traditional wind turbines. MARS captures the energy available in the 600 to 1000-foot low level and nocturnal jet streams that exist almost everywhere. MARS rotation also generates the “Magnus effect” which provides additional lift, keeps the MARS stabilized, and positions it within a very controlled and restricted location.
Mars Technology
All conventional wind generators use bladed two-dimensional disk-like structures and rigid towers. The Magenn Power Air Rotor system is a closed three-dimensional structure (cylinder). It offers high torque, low starting speeds, and superior overall efficiency thanks to its ability to deploy higher. The closed structure allows Magenn Power to produce wind rotors from very small to very large sizes at a fraction of the cost of current wind generators.
The distinct advantages of the Magenn Air Rotor System design are as follows:
