SeaTwirl's S2x. The Next Generation Wind Power.
1 MW
Future versions will have increased output.
Low Cost
Less complex and low maintenance costs.
Less Downtime
Few moving parts means more operative hours.
SeaTwirl's S2x
We are currently developing the full-scale, 1-MW, S2x unit. S2x will be available for purchase by leading energy companies.
S2x is a natural evolution of the S1 test unit, based on the same principle of design. More details can be found on our products page.
Advantages of SeaTwirl
- Simple, robust design with a minimum of breakable moving parts, which means less downtime and more output
- Provides easy access to parts requiring maintenance
- Stable structure due to the low centre of gravity
- The water supports the weight of the wind turbine which reduces stress on the bearings
- Scientific reports show that vertical-axis wind turbines have a high structural limit and can be built larger than horizontal axis wind turbines.
Areas of use
- Wind farms
- Islands and remote locations
- Fish farms
“Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. I strongly believe that in the future we're going to be using this resource to power the world.”
