An early breakthrough of the original Wind Harvest Company (now Wind Harvest International) was the discovery of the Coupled Vortex Effect, which can boost the efficiency of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). Inspired by his recurring dream of a star, co-founder Bob Thomas designed the Windstar turbine. His observations of the Windstar in operation led him to the Coupled Vortex Effect. With this effect, synergy between closely spaced vertical axis turbines increases the energy output of each turbine in the pair. The Coupled Vortex Effect can even be used to increase the efficiency of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) by strategically placing smaller VAWTs below them. The coupled vortices produced by the smaller turbines draws faster moving air down through the rotors of the taller turbines, increasing their energy output by as much as 10%.
