Our partner, Houston/Bogota based startup, Parsons Kinetics is revolutionizing wind energy harvesting with a unique innovation: a high-efficiency wind turbine inspired by flying seeds of Amazonian trees. Designed to maximize energy generation in calmer winds (ranging from 5 m/s to 10 m/s), these turbines can operate effectively in areas where traditional wind farms are not viable. Our approach democratizes renewable energy investment through the tokenization of our wind farm production using advanced IoT and Blockchain technologies, allowing diverse stakeholders to invest and benefit economically.
This solution is ideal to bring renewable energy at an affordable price in a sutainable chain to remote communities, where other solutions are not practical, as each turbine produces 7,5 KWH and is relatively cheap at ~10K USD. The benefits pf wind energy without the problems of tghe monster sized turbines OR solar pankes using up all the available space.
The Challenge-
How to generate cost effective renewable energy, using a sustainable production chain, in regions with lower wind speeds,
where traditional turbines or solar panels are inefficient or impractical.
The growth in demand for LARGE wind-turbines is limited by the following requirements:
1. Necessity of remote locations
2. High wind-speeds to be cost effective
3. Years of planning AND community agreements
4. The exclusive niche of large investments
(2 MW costs between $3 and $4 million to install!!!!!)
The Opportunity-
Unlocking the Potential for the increasing energy demand
1. Low Wind Speed market mostly underdeveloped and therefore Market Size is HUGE AND GLOBAL
2. Highest Energy Efficiency achieved
3. Sustainable materials used (recycled plastics ,magnets and blades)
4. Highly scalable solution
5. Regulatory and government support
THE SOLUTION-
Turning Gentle Breezes into Powerful Energy with the Bio-Seed Turbine
Inspired by the aerodynamic properties of lift-spinning seeds
Close to the ideal coefficient (60%) of efficiency for wind turbines at only 3.5 m/s wind speed
The refined blade shape is specifically designed to maximize energy generation in calmer wind conditions, which constitutes ~20% of inland landscapes, previously unsuitable for wind farms
Patented Protection in USA, Europe, China and & Colombia

"This technological advancement is rooted in a unique approach to improving turbine efficiency, drawing inspiration from nature's engineering. By observing and emulating the aerodynamic properties of lift-spinning seeds, which have been refined through billions of natural iterations, we have developed a more axial-focused blade design for horizontal wind turbines. Unlike traditional multi-stage turbines (created by Parsons, the inventor) that rely on a combination of stators and rotors to enhance energy transfer, our design simplifies this process. By removing these elements and instead refining the blade shape, we achieve a more streamlined and effective energy capture mechanism, echoing the efficiency found in nature's own designs. This not only leads to increased energy production in lower wind conditions but also represents a significant leap in sustainable and adaptable wind energy technology.
Parsons Kinetics is revolutionizing the renewable energy sector by implementing a pioneering approach that democratizes investment in wind energy. Utilizing the cutting-edge combination of Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain technologies, we have developed a sophisticated system that tokenizes the energy produced by our wind farms. This system is built on a robust On Edge and Cloud architecture, which meticulously monitors and records the physical parameters of our turbines in real-time. The collected data is then seamlessly integrated into the Ethereum blockchain, where the energy output is tokenized. This innovative method not only ensures transparent and secure tracking of energy production but also opens up investment opportunities to a broader range of stakeholders. By converting energy production into digital tokens on the Ethereum platform, we enable investors of various scales to participate in and reap economic benefits from renewable energy ventures, making sustainable energy investment more accessible and inclusive than ever before.
