PATENT PENDING

A Welcome Letter From The President

The Stingray began for me forty years ago. I was seventeen at the time.

Our family lived right here beside this river. We used to care for it – wading in

and keeping it clear of any trash.

One day as I was walking the river, I found an old waterlogged wooden sign.

It was about two feet under the water about mid-river. The flow was typical

for that time of year and not overly strong, but when I tried to lift the sign, it

took everything I had in me to hold it against the current.

I will never forget it.

The force was astonishing, and for some reason it occurred to me that we should be able to produce power from that amount of pressure.

Sometime later, my mother gave me an old grandfather clock that had not worked for years. It was the type that if you raised a weight to wind the mechanism, the clock would function for days. I found that the mechanism was broken. As I was working with the chain and weight, I noticed that if I pulled hard on the chain, the mechanism would spin extremely fast. That is when I remembered the river.

There it was...

Pressure to energy

There is a story behind my going back to high school when I was twenty-six. The short version starts with the fact that I had already graduated high school eight years prior. But I had a dream of going to university and becoming an engineer.

I used to drive after work in filthy factory clothes and work boots to stare at the university campus – the students and wonder, why them and not me? Think of the movie about Rudy and Notre Dame and you will get the idea.

The only way to apply and be accepted at the University of Waterloo was to meet their current academic standards which were astonishingly high. I did it though. I would work on my courses from sunrise until midnight every night without a single day off. But I made it and I certainly remember the first step I took on the campus.

During my days studying engineering, the idea of the Stingray never left me.

After graduating, I found an old clock repair man who had some larger clock mechanisms that I could test my idea with. I also purchased an old parachute from an army surplus store.

It was a winter day in February with a foot of snow on the ground and quite windy. I had fastened the parachute lines to the mechanism and went out to test how much pull I could get from the parachute, and it nearly pulled me down the street. The clock mechanism held and spun incredibly fast under the wind power. There it was again.

the Stingray - The First Ever Land Sail

The difficulty was creating a sail shape that could be easily controlled,

withstand extreme weather around the world, be cyclic and be

programmed to be intelligent in terms of wind direction, safety,

and communications. It all took many years of consideration as one

iteration led to another and another. Simply put:

1. Use large pressure for power production for a time period.

2. Reduce the surface area significantly as well as the angle of

attack at the end of the extension phase of the cycle to

retract the sail and reset the power generating component of

the entire cycle.

3. Do that for a fraction of the cost of wind turbines at the average wind speed of 5.5m/s globally.

Another way of thinking about it is to consider a bucket that is constantly being filled with sand and continually overflowing and is attached to a pulley by a cable to the shaft of a generator. Let the heavy, overflowing bucket of sand slowly fall and generate power while the weight and pressure does its work. At the bottom, empty the bucket and retract the cable. This requires a small fraction of the power that was generated as it descended. Put the empty bucket back into the sand stream at the top and let it fall again. Repeat. Now, change the word sand for the word wind and you get the next generation of wind energy.

It is surprising how heavy air is

I didn’t believe it until I did some research and then I still had a hard time accepting it. But the fact is the surface of the Stingray will have approximately 408kg (900lb) of air moving at 5.5m/s (12.3 mph) against it. That is one heavy bucket of sand moving quickly.

The energy in the wind is free

The Stingray is the result of decades of design and testing. 5kW of electricity on average, every hour, year-round. One stingray per acre.

7,000 Children's Lives saved/Futures Per Day

Energy is essential for so much but especially for clean water. 7,000 children die every day due to the lack of the basic necessity – clean water. The Stingray is designed to change that. World-wide.

5kW of electricity used in a reverse osmosis system can produce over 40,000 litres of clean water per day from oceans, lakes, ponds, rivers, aquifers, and wells. Yet it goes beyond lives saved. The applications in agriculture and land regeneration will be an essential and extensive reality. Small, simple, continuous, distributed power generation where and when it is required is a global necessity that will be solved with the Stingray.

20 years ago, this would not have been possible

Now it is a certain future

As you will see the clean water and clean energy potential is unexpected. Nearly every country can have the equivalent of Niagara Falls and, in most countries, the performance of Niagara many times over. But, not from water. From wind.

Stingray Wind Energy and Clean Water System Systems

5kW per unit. 48,000 litres of clean water per day

CO2 offset of 168 Fully grown trees each year

This next generation of wind energy technology diverges from wind turbines and instead embraces thousands of years of engineering and design experience in the sailing industry, capturing wind energy much more efficiently at average wind speeds around the world and at a fraction of the cost of wind turbines.

Due to modern advances in carbon fibre, fabric science, and the computer-controlled precision of modern drone systems, any available land with low to moderate wind conditions can now become an exceptionally lucrative investment vehicle providing nation-wide sources of revenue, while delivering clean energy, clean water, and with it all the related extraordinary agricultural opportunities and impacts. Technological and financial, both are new industry vectors.

These clean energy and clean water systems will be installed globally beginning in 2023.\

The global applications are incalculable\

The Stingray Wind Energy System will produce the least expensive electricity in the world. This will lead to new land expansion, city development, increased land valuation, new manufacturing, commerce, etc., with true economic competitive advantage and extraordinary wealth for generations to come.

Nikola Tesla

Since he was a young boy, Nikola Tesla dreamed of harnessing the power of Niagara Falls. Seeing it in person for the first time led him to build the first hydroelectric generating plant in the world. At times we are blessed with a moment when history meets modernization and new applications. Flight meets engine. Engines meet wheels. Electricity meets everything eventually. Perhaps the same wisdom and insight that led him to the moment he turned on the main switch, let him see far beyond his years to how it would touch every aspect of our lives. Today his legacy continues and brings to the world this new, unique combination of Nikola Tesla’s genius and a world of new Niagara Falls.

Advances in technology continue to create new opportunities opening new financial vectors with necessary and practical solutions that are engineered to create them. When done properly, the solution opens markets that are so much larger than expected.

In 2005 two scientists, Archer and Jacobson estimated that 20% of the global total wind power potential could account for as much as 123 petawatt-hours (PWh) of electricity.

This is equal to over 5 times the total current global consumption of electricity. With the average electricity cost per kWh of 13 cents globally, this figure represents $16 trillion. NREL (2) recently clarified this with advances in and distribution of more data sites. The 2017 estimate is a total global wind generation potential of 560PWh for terrestrial wind with 90% of resource classified as low-to-mid quality. A $73 trillion potential. Promising, yet there is a reality to consider.

The average wind speed around the world is 5.5m/s

Wind turbines only generate 1/8th of their rated

capacity under these conditions

making their design and large-scale implementation technically and financially impracticable throughout the vast majority of the world. At this average wind speed, to generate 100kW with wind turbines, requires an investment in eight wind turbines plus storage. The Stingray has no such limitations producing full power at the average wind speed around the world.

The Financial Breakthrough

The 5kW Stingray system is designed for universal application and affordability. Compared to wind turbines the Stingray system is 1/8th of the cost. The system is simply shipped by FedEx, UPS or any other overland carrier. The majority of the components come preassembled and is operational within one to two days. All maintenance is done on the ground. It will be installed individually, in small groups, and en masse anywhere land is available. It is the perfect union of wind energy, clean water, agriculture, and revenue production. Each unit requires only one acre of land. Its flight height is 40-50ft.

Norway’s Financial Genius

On a national scale, the financial opportunities lend themselves to the adoption of the proven, exceptional financial implementation of Norway’s 1.4 trillion-dollar Government Pension Fund Global system. This will create and ensure untapped, continuous, and guaranteed revenue that will secure and expand a country’s financial capabilities and requirements for generations to come. Like Niagara’s water, the wind is a free energy resource that will never stop.

Considering only the electricity revenues (there are 22 additional revenue streams created) from 5kW of power production on average per hour, at the average electricity cost globally of 13 cents per kW, one system will provide revenue of nearly $5,700 US per year.

At a target installed cost of $10,000 US,

the payback period is between 2 and 20 months

For regions and countries with higher electricity rates the payback period decreases accordingly. In the Solomon Islands, for instance with electricity rates of over 90 cents per kWh the payback period is approximately 90 days. No government incentives are required. Within two years it will have paid for itself. If we adapt the investment model from Norway and invest the revenue into a Stingray Fund instead of spending it, within the next two years there will be enough revenue in the fund to purchase and install a second Stingray system. If we dedicate the revenue from the first Stingray to purchasing and installing subsequent Stingrays every two years, within 20 years there will be 10 Stingrays operational, each producing $5,700 in revenue for the investment cost of just the initial Stingray - $10,000 US.

Niagara Falls

Each year 700 Stingrays can produce the equivalent clean water

of 78 minutes of flow over Niagara Falls

If we invest the revenue produced from the 10 Stingrays using

Norway’s average return on investment of 6.2%, the Stingray fund

will be worth more than $600,000 over the first 20-year period, all

the while producing clean water; creating and/or accelerating

agriculture where installed. When these ten Stingrays have been

contributing to the investment fund for an entire 20-year period,

their investment fund contribution increases to over $2 million.

All for only $10,000 US. At year 20, a second Stingray is installed

with the goal of it copying this financial model for the next

generation. After two generations, there will be 30 Stingrays

operational and generating revenue. The financial genius from

Norway becomes truly exceptional. Consider investing in 10 Stingrays for $100,000 US. Within three generations (60years), there will be 700 Stingrays producing 3.5MW having contributed $130 million to the Stingray fund.

All for only an initial investment in only 10 Stingrays at $100,000 US. The Stingray Wind Energy System is the absolute answer to so many problems.

For consideration, an investment in 1587 Stingrays

will result in a Stingray Investment Fund of $1 Billion dollars in 20 years.

The Stingray is also the only clean technology that can apply this financial model to such success.

As for the water side of production of desalinated water, like Niagara, wind is a unique expression of inexhaustible wealth freely given. Consider these extraordinary facts. From just 700 Stingrays, one

Stingray can produce 48,000 litres per day. 700 can produce over

3 million gallons per year. Niagara Falls flow rate is 681,750 gallons

per second.

What the numbers tell you in terms of water is that 700 Stingrays can provide the equivalent clean water production of 78 minutes of flow from Niagara Falls each year. To create the equivalent of a continual flow from Niagara Falls requires 4.7 million Stingrays. That may seem like a lot but in terms of square kilometers, it is only 19,109 square km in a country of 7.7 million. Imagine what that is going to do for agriculture and expansion in all areas of commerce and society. The numbers are simply exceptional regardless of application. In terms of electricity production, the numbers are equally astonishing:

All of this from an initial investment in just 10 Stingrays at a cost of $100,000 and using Norway’s reinvestment model to install 700 total for this one investment.
