DEAN GREGORY, 2009 WINNER
POWER COLLECTIVE LIMITED (ENERGY)
The company will produce and market the RidgeBlade MicroGeneration system. This low-cost rooftop turbine captures wind power in low-wind conditions. Its visual unobtrusiveness makes it suitable for city housing as well as environmentally sensitive locations like national parks. Its designer is an ex-Rolls Royce turbine engineer. Their figures indicate it would pay for itself in a few years.
