Thorough computational flow analyses have been completed in order to optimize the performance characteristics of the Median Wind turbine. To efficiently capture wind from passing vehicles, our induced wind technology takes advantage of the speed of the wind and the distinctive way it moves up and along the median barrier.

Multiple prototype models were considered before settling on the current design. The advantages of its unique shape have been verified by sophisticated 3D flow analysis modeling. Full wind profiles from 4 different directions were tested to predict output, torque, side loads, and maximum wind speed with over 90% accuracy.

The Median Wind turbine generator produces up to 1 kilowatt (maximum) from highway air passing at an average of 14 mph. It can withstand hurricane force winds in excess of 100 mph.
