KOHILO Wind turbines are unique in that they condition the wind through a diffuser system not used in traditional turbines, which in turn harnesses the energy more efficiently and increases power production. This elevates the potential for wind turbines drastically, making the clean energy source a reality even in urban environments. The nucleus of KOHILO is its unparalleled technology that has stayed home in Central New York.
Based in Skaneateles Falls, NY, international distributor agreements as well as domestic partnerships have allowed us to provide energy across the globe from the Philippines to South America. Contact us today.
KOHILOs goal is to preserve the environment and empower people towards change by offering affordable green energy solutions that are built to last for generations. The Inventor
Derek Grassman
At KOHILO, our mantra is necessity is the mother of invention. The Vortex was born from Derek Grassmans vision to actively involve more people in the transformation of the American energy industry by directly influencing an increase in wind energy sources. Derek devised the technology behind the Vortex after living off grid in Upstate New York using a horizontal axis wind turbine and diesel generator. He noticed there were many flaws in the conventional wind turbines he had purchased and he was determined to overcome these obstacles. Derek, a nature enthusiast and mechanical engineer, came up with a design that is economical, efficient and environmentally friendly. Contact
Kohilo Wind Vortex Tech
Invented by the founder of KOHILO, the VORTEX wind turbine yields the lowest Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and highest Capacity Factor in the wind energy market. This increase in power production is made possible by a diffuser system that stabilizes turbulent airflow. These precision diffusers channel wind into the core of the VORTEX turbine thereby increasing the velocity of this harvested wind by compressing a large volume of flow into a small channel; this channel directs airflow perfectly into the blades of the turbine.
In order to determine the appropriate solution for a clients needs, KOHILO must know how much electricity is being used and how much that electricity is costing the client. The last 12-month cycle of a clients electric bills MUST be analyzed to determine electricity demand and cost.
A Cost Benefit Analysis is then prepared and presented showing the savings from going green. However, one advantage is not included within our Cost Benefit Analyses because it is simply not quantifiable the intrinsic public relations value achieved from using clean, renewable energy.
Simply put, KOHILO demonstrates how going green can mean more green in the bottom line.
The Vortex is a hybrid vertical axis wind turbine incorporating the most dynamic characteristics from the three turbine designs thus creating a system of unparalleled efficiency and performance.
The Vortex:
incorporates an internally manufactured 12-phase generator that utilizes magnetic bearings providing a friction-free operation magnets allow the turbine to float thus reducing wear and tear and providing a long product life does not need yaw mechanisms, rudders, or downwind coning; the Vortexs turbine is simply one moving piece provide its owners with a $35/kW annual maintenance expense, over 30% less than industry standard is technically rated and sound up to 130 MPH wind speeds and produces minimal vibrations and virtually no noise
There were a number of commercial wind farms built in the U.S. that proved to be reliable and efficient. However, there was a problem with fatigue on the blades.
The Vortexs blades:
are composed of lightweight T-6061 aircraft aluminum, are encased in an exoskeleton providing protection from natures elements and the fatigue issues associated with high wind speeds eliminate the detriment of shearing off during operation and pose no hazard to wildlife because it is a stationary object.
