SONSIGHT WIND

Sonsight Wind is a small company located in Lawrenceville GA that was founded by Dr. Devon R McIntosh for applying research in electromagnetic interactions to problems related to energy efficiency and renewable energy. Supported in part by research grants, initial work revolved around thermal radiation transfer in scattering media for improving lighting efficiency, resulting in two patents. Later we consulted on ultrasonic wave scattering for steel weld nondestructive evaluation and on novel incandescent illumination for movie lighting. Subsequently, with an interest in improving small wind turbine cost effectiveness, we developed an advanced light-weight low-rpm generator for direct drive turbines resulting in a patented design, and then began developing the rest of the turbine. Currently, the generators range between 3kW and 5kW at around 160 to 200 RPM, but are easily scalable. The first test turbine was installed in 2013, which incorporated an earlier version of the generator. That..
