The Magenn Power Air Rotor System is a lighter-than-air helium-lifted wind turbine, which can be considerably larger than all other land and sea based windmills.

Conventional wind generators are only operable in wind speeds between 3 meters/sec and 28 meters/sec.

With this helium solution, Magenn Air Rotor are operable between 1 meter/sec and in excess of 28 meters/sec., plus they can be raised to higher altitudes, thus capitalizing on higher winds aloft. Altitudes from 400-ft to 1,000-ft above ground level are possible, and they can be easily moved around.

The first units in production will be a 4Kw residential unit that will cost $10,000, and can be ordered this spring from the Ottawa-area company.
