Technology offer example

• Small wind turbine with high starting torque for mounting on an inclined roof. (Ref: 10 RO 662C 3IK2 )

• A Romanian inventor has developed a small wind turbine with cross flow runner, designed to be mounted on a roof. The main innovative aspect of the wind turbine involves the addition of a small casing and of a wind deflector, which, combined with the roof, acts as a wind concentrator, improving the efficiency of the wind turbine. The Inventor is looking for Companies interested in License Agreement, Joint further development, Testing of new applications and adaptation to specific needs.


• Ridge Wing Turbine (RWT) - a new wind energy system (Ref: 10 DK 20B7 3IXT )

• A Danish inventor of a newly patented wind energy system, Ridge Wing Turbine (RWT), which uses the turbulent and high wind speeds occuring when wind hits building and landscape projections for energy production, is looking for an investor who ideally has a significant market knowlegde in the field. The concept is specifically suitable for urban environments and estate installations.

• Design and analysis of horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines of small and medium size (from 1 to 5 0 KW) (Ref: 07 IT SUUN 0IV2 )

• An Italian research group has designed and built a prototype of a 5-kW Horizontal Axis small Wind Turbine (HAWT) and it is working on an innovative Vertical Axis small Wind Turbine (VAWT) to be patented soon. The small wind turbines proposed are easy to install and to maintain; they work well with medium wind intensity (average wind speed 5.5 m/s); they have low cost. The research group is looking for industrial partners interested in further development and in the industrialisation phase.


• Vertical axis turbine for micro wind engines (Ref: 10 IT 55X5 3HRS )

• The company based in Northern Italy with a specialized laboratory in Verona is offering to cede the patent of a vertical axis wind turbine for domestic use and well as for a wind farm with an electric utility capacity up to 1,5kW. Prototypes showed efficient results. The company is furthermore interested in a joint venture to build up wind farms and to get in contact with distributors for do-it-yourself shops given the fact that this product requires only a simple packaging and a self-assembly.

Technology request example

• Technology for 30-100 kW output wind turbine generator (Ref: 09 HU 50S2 3F4E )

• A medium-sized Hungarian company active in the production of iron parts of generators for big-sized wind turbine generator (with several MW power output), is looking for the production technology and the manufacturing license of wind turbine generators with 30-100 kW power output. The sought technology should be field tested or already on the market. Collaboration type looked for: licensing agreement or commercial agreement with technical assistance (technical consultancy).
