Jericho

Jericho is a high-efficiency vertical-axis wind turbine engineered for real-world energy generation in low-wind and urban environments.

The system is built around a proprietary dual-rotor architecture that combines a lift-based Darrieus rotor with a drag-based Savonius rotor on a single shaft. This configuration enables reliable self-start at low wind speeds and stable operation across variable wind conditions, while maintaining significantly higher efficiency than typical small wind solutions.

Unlike conventional designs that rely on multiple guide vanes and suffer from high transition losses, Jericon uses a natural flow circulation approach that reduces internal energy losses and simplifies the mechanical structure. The result is a system-level efficiency in the range of 45–65%, compared to 25–30% in most consumer-grade turbines.

The turbine is designed as a complete energy system rather than a standalone device. It includes an integrated generator, smart controller with real-time optimisation, and monitoring capabilities, allowing users to track performance and adapt usage. The vertical-axis configuration eliminates the need for wind orientation, making the system suitable for rooftops, constrained spaces, and multi-directional airflow typical of urban environments.

Jericho operates at low noise levels and is designed for residential compatibility, while maintaining consistent performance in conditions where most small turbines fail to produce meaningful output.

Positioned between low-cost consumer devices and expensive professional installations, Jericon addresses a key gap in the market: delivering verifiable, engineering-backed performance at an accessible level, with published data and a transparent approach to output and efficiency.
