More Wind Lens Advantages3. It rotates like a weathervane so it always faces

the incoming wind 4. No bird strikes reported5. It is safe, because it is shrouded by a covering

structure 6. And it is less vulnerable to lightning, because

you can easily install a lightning rod on top of the Wind Lens structure

Wind Lens Wind Turbine

Market Goal1. We want to integrate Wind Lens with existing

renewable energy installations

2. We are not trying to compete with solar and other renewable energy products

3. We want Wind Lens to co-exist with them, and be used with them

Wind Lens Wind TurbineWhat we are looking for in the U.S.

1. We are not looking for volume buyers because we are not set up to do the volume production yet

2. We are looking for someone who wants to license this technology to make this in the U.S. or in North America

3. And we always welcome investment
