The creator of a patented rooftop wind harvesting platform that harnesses the power of wind in smaller footprints, including for commercial buildings, at a competitive cost has been chosen as the Startup of the Year by Texas Tech University’s (TTU) Office of Research Commercialisation.
Houston-based Aeromine Technologies is the 2024 recipient of the award for early-stage companies which are commercialising Texas Tech University System Intellectual Property and contributing to and innovation ecosystem in West Texas.
On-site electricity
Aeromine was founded in 2022 and was originally supported by the Emerging Technology Fund of the Texas Governor’s office and TTU Innovation Hub programming. Research on the project was conducted with Texas Tech University and Sandia National Laboratories.
Designed to produce energy independently or integrate seamlessly with existing solar arrays, Aeromine’s motionless, quiet units easily adapt to existing electrical infrastructures. Unlike large onshore and offshore wind farms, The space-efficient units are mounted on the edge of a building’s roof and have no external moving parts or blades, capturing wind flowing up and over buildings and converting it into on-site electricity.
