What is significant about the Carter Wind Turbine Technology?

Carter developed wind turbine technology that produces 2 to 4 times the energy per pound of installed equipment weight.

Why is the ratio of energy produced to equipment weight significant?

The capital investment required to manufacture, transport, install, and maintain wind turbines, is basically a function of weight.
The more energy produced per pound of turbine weight, results in a lower cost to produce energy and therefore faster equipment payoff and higher profitability.

Two Bladed Teetering Rotor downwind oriented
- Eliminates gyroscopic loads inherent to 3 bladed turbines
Flexible Composite Rotor Blades and tower
Tilt-up, Guyed Tower
Simple design - semi free yaw, stall regulated, and fail safe aero shutdown
