The company
WhisperRing® is developed by Mega Windforce, a company focused on improving the structural efficiency of wind turbines. Since 2016, the company has been working on a new architectural approach aimed at reducing structural loads, simplifying mechanical complexity and lowering the cost of wind energy.
Mega Windforce combines insights from engineering, renewable energy development and investment strategy to support the next generation of wind turbine design. The objective is to contribute to more efficient use of materials, improved system reliability and better economic performance of wind energy.
The development of WhisperRing® is driven by the belief that further cost reduction of wind energy requires fundamental innovation in turbine architecture. By rethinking how forces are distributed throughout the turbine structure, new possibilities emerge for lighter, more efficient and scalable designs.
All core team members are shareholders in the company, reflecting long-term commitment to the development and implementation of the WhisperRing® technology.
