We are thrilled to announce that D. Todd Griffith and his team at The University of Texas at Dallas have achieved a significant milestone in offshore wind energy innovation. They have successfully tested a 6-foot prototype of a novel vertical-axis wind turbine designed for deep ocean deployment. This groundbreaking design aims to harness the vast potential of offshore winds, providing a stable and efficient energy source. With a recent $4.42 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the project is set to scale up, bringing us closer to sustainable and affordable offshore wind energy solutions.
