Leviathan Wind EnergizerTM LLC
Concerned About Climate Change?
The fastest way to increase the world supply of clean energy is to increase the power output of already
grid-connected wind turbines.
Profits are Pain Point for Wind Industry
The Wind Energizer is the best way to
decrease energy costs and increase wind farm profits.
EVALUATION BY TOP TECHNOLOGY AND FINANCIAL
PEOPLE AT GE
“…we all believe the Wind Energizer is potentially a
game changing product that could enhance our wind
energy portfolio...” John Cole, G.E. Energy Financial Services
Prototype Witness
“…the Leviathan Wind Energizer outperformed the same turbine installed with no device by producing 156% more energy over a 24 hour period.”
--Mike Green, MG Lightning Electrical Engineering
How Do We Do It?
Without even touching the turbine.
We make computer models of the wind, the turbine, and an
optimal structure.High tech engineering; low
tech build out
WIND ENERGIZERTM
This structure placed in
the way of the wind increases velocity in the plane
of the blades.

With Wind EnergizerRESULT
oMore uniform wind speed.oNeutralizes effect of higher speeds from elevation.oThe value is preventing gearbox replacement every 5 years.(1 Gearbox = $500,000)
PERCENTAGE EFFECT
It reduced the cut-in speed by 1.2 m/s.The Wind EnergizerTM changes the world’s wind map, making millions of square miles available for wind farms.
Market and MoneyTarget customer: Wind farms. Large, easily
identified, lots of money.300,000 turbines for retrofit30,000 more per year
Customer: Priced to enable 25% ROI Leviathan Profit
Early phase: $200,000 per turbine Later phase: $300,000 per turbine
Once effect on maintenance is monetized, we can charge more.

CFD
Next Steps$1 million (or half with a grant) for large
scale demo and certification. In the wind industry, certification = bankability.
Letter of support to do the test at NREL; doing it there means added credibility.
InvestmentComps for valuation: $20-100 million even
before commercialization because of size of potential.
Profits of over $1 billion in 6 years: Why?oCompelling customer value (ROI 1-4 years)oNo competing productoSmall number of buyers to reachoScalable manufacturing easily outsourced
Your Profit
$1 million enables us to sell and become
profitable.We turn your $1 million
into $1 billion.
Clear Business Plan1. Validation/Certification2. Retrofit Market (immediate value to wind
farms)3. Sales models: outright sale or choice of
co-ownership of electricity4. Partner with manufacturers5. Partner with wind farm developers6. IPO7. Vertical integration
SUMMARYThe Wind EnergizerTM can change the wind
industry and, secondarily, the planet. Increases power and profit, decreases maintenance—BY A LARGE AMOUNT
Patented, proven technology.High tech product design with a relatively simple
execution.No similar products on the market.Growing market for next 50 yearsNext: Large scale demonstration direct to
commercial stage. YOU WON’T HAVE A SECOND CHANCE.
