Green Idea to Patented Next-Generation Wind Turbine in Nine Months

Mahesh Patel is a serial inventor who has come up with numerous incredible innovations including technology that ended up being incorporated into the Roomba vacuum. Together with his son, Dharmesh, Mahesh’s latest invention is a new kind of wind turbine that has been coined the “AirBnB of Turbines”. This ground-breaking green energy turbine cuts out half of the cost and most of the hassle of a wind turbine by eliminating the giant steel pole required to mount existing turbines- instead, utilizing light poles, chimneys, cell towers, and other existing infrastructure as a mount.

When Mahesh came to Novo, all he had were sketches and some initial digital designs. In order to get his turbine to the next level, Mahesh needed a proof-of-concept prototype to demo to interested investors and customers. Novo took the next nine months to perfect the 3D designs and manufacture 50 different prototype turbines until a functional two foot tall proof-of-concept model was built. With this finalized design, Mahesh has secured three utility patents and may have as many as eleven soon.

Mahesh is now raising funds from angels and venture capitalists to mass manufacture his game changing, next generation wind turbine.
