We are engineers, designers and innovators with a passion for accelerating the adoption of resilient energy. We bring experiences from Google, GE and more...
Airloom engineers next-generation turbines.
Utility scale, low-cost, reliable, and maximum energy production per square kilometer.
Better Physics
Airloom architecture more efficiently converts kinetic energy into mechanical energy
Scalable swept area
Airloom's simple, robust structure enables a high-volume of swept area without massive structures
Robust
Airloom is built to be a 20 year asset and survive in the harshest environments
Higher Energy Density
Airloom's site layout and smaller wake means it can create more energy in less space
Backed by the biggest names in energy
“We spend a ton of time in the hardware, energy and industrials spaces and my sense is that Airloom can not only serve as a catalyst for low-cost utility-scale energy, but also lead to a rapid, mass manufacturable source of resilient energy”

2027
Commercial Demo
System operations that demonstrate Airloom's commercial advantages
Conventional turbines have
gotten cheaper primarily by getting
bigger. This can't continue endlessly.
Airloom will drive down
the cost of energy.
Conventional turbines are made in low-volume, utilizing specialized materials, shipped with specialized transportation equipment, and put up with large and specialized cranes and specially trained crews.
Mass production
Airloom uses low-cost, mass manufacturable components
Lower Balance of Plan Costs
Airloom Site layout requires fewer roads, less electrical collection cabeling, and less infrastructure
Simple transit Installation & maintenance
Smaller parts and lower mass simplifies transportation, installation and maintenance
Low wind sites
Easy to optimize for an average resource of 5-7 meters/second
Sites with height restrictions
Airports and military installations
Difficult access sites
Mountainous areas, islands, and other sites with minimal infrastructure
Smaller visual signature
Viable in locations where view planes are important
