The SWE downdraft tower
The company says the new identity is meant "to more accurately and categorically define the nature of its business and to eliminate the confusion of associating its technology with traditional wind turbine technology".
Two SWE towers - hollow 685-metre cylindrical structures equipped with a water-spray system, each designed to generate 850MW from high-speed “downbursts” of air that turn turbines in their foundations - are planned for a maiden development in Arizona. Another pair is on the cards for a site in Mexico.

technology,

reflected
in
the
name,"
