In a World of Big Wind, There''s Still a Place for Tiny Turbines
Alpha 311 is aiming for the equipment to be about as expensive as solar panels are today. Right now, one of its units costs about 20,000 pounds ($27,500) to lease for five years. "Everybody assumes a wind turbine is all about size," said Barry Thompson, Alpha 311''s chief executive officer. "It''s never been about looking at the science
The O2 to generate power from ground breaking vertical-axis wind turbines developed by British start-up Alpha 311
The Alpha 311 turbine was born in Britain with international aspirations, so it''s fitting that we''re working with the world''s most popular music, entertainment and leisure venue. It''s not just a London landmark, it''s a global icon, and we couldn''t be more proud, or thankful, for The O2''s belief in us."

The O2 Arena first venue in the world to use Alpha 311 turbines
Posted on 12 March 2021. The O2 Arena in London has announced that it will be the first venue in the world to trial our innovative vertical axis wind turbines. The turbines will be erected around the arena, which is the world''s most popular music, entertainment and leisure venue. More than nine million people visit the O2 each year, so plenty
Frequently asked questions :: Alpha311
By placing the Alpha 311 turbines on the motorway, we can use the airflow from traffic on either carriageway. This increases the airflow impacting on the turbine. If you can double the wind speed, then you can increase the amount of energy generated by up to a
Alpha 311''s innovative small turbine harnesses the power of
Alpha 311 has developed small wind turbines that sit on the O2 Arena and use both natural winds and breezes created by passing vehicles to power streetlights. These turbines weigh 88 pounds and easily fit into the current electrical systems. After successful
Meet Alpha 311 :: Alpha311
That was the question that kickstarted Alpha 311. This was before the global pandemic, when there wasn''t an energy crisis at the level there is today, and when interest rates weren''t through the roof. It turns out that designing a wind turbine from scratch is really hard work, especially when the above challenges pop up one after the other.

The O2 in London to get vertical axis wind turbines by Alpha 311
Kent-based engineering company Alpha 311 on Friday announced that the O2 Arena in London will be the first venue to deploy its vertical axis wind turbines. As part of the project, 10 turbines will be installed to produce roughly 87.6 MWh of renewable electricity annually, or enough to power 23 British homes. The O2 Arena is seeking to
How does it work? :: Alpha311
The smaller size, lower weight and unique shaftless design means the Alpha 311 turbine can be installed almost anywhere. The turbine is most efficient when placed next to a road or railway where it harvests airflow from passing vehicles and generates electricity even when the wind isn''t blowing. A sophisticated sensor array collects localised
