Hydrogen Future Industries provided an update on its testing and development activities, including initial data which is supportive of wind tunnel results from earlier prototypes.
Wind Turbine
HFI has completed the construction and installation of its latest, upgraded 1 metre diameter wind turbine prototype in Montana, USA, with testing and data gathering now underway. The current turbine is the 3rd version of the design since the Company acquired a suite of relevant patents, as announced in October 2022. The upgraded wind turbine will be used to measure the energy output over an extended period before work commences on a larger diameter commercial scale wind turbine. Initial data from the limited testing to date is supportive of wind tunnel results from earlier prototypes. The Board believes that the data is supportive of the system's capacity to produce low-cost renewable energy and therefore affordable green hydrogen.
