We don’t often “go down rabbit holes” but this one is begging for some attention!

We don’t often “go down rabbit holes” but this one is begging for some attention!

We don’t often “go down rabbit holes” but when one presents itself with a 10, 20, or even possibly 40% improvement in performance, we stop and take a look. And that’s what our team is doing with our SAF (Simplified Axial Flux) generator design here at Harmony Turbines.

Recently we had reason to get down to “first principles” with electromotive force experimentation, simplified power generation models and generator coil configuration analysis. There’s a fairly robust body of information on the fringes of what we were looking for. Examples include how power is created, electron spin, left hand & right hand rules etc. But there is surprisingly little information available about optimizing these processes for the highest efficiency possible with a given system. That topic appears to be largely ignored.

Perhaps companies have kept this specific information as “trade secrets” over the years to protect their IP and investments? Perhaps they simply went into production not fully understanding the best ways to optimize their systems? At any rate, we’re taking a few weeks to stop, research, learn, create and test. This is because what we’ve discovered over the past 2 weeks is that our SAF generator can function at a significantly higher performance level. Keep in mind that our SAF generator was already very good. It beat out every other generator that we tested for use with our turbines.

We’re really excited about this discovery and will be putting together a video soon with as much information as we feel we can release. There might even be a new patent in the mix, so we apologize if we can’t share everything right away. But whether or not there will be a new patent is secondary to the fact that it appears we have found a way to make another significant improvement to our SAF generator’s performance! And that’s definitely worth “writing home about!”

Please be on the lookout for an upcoming video release about our SIGNIFICANT efficiency increase with our SAF generator design.
