PCT Application No. PCT/US2013/064477: MULTIPLE INPUT SINGLE OUTPUT HYBRID POWER SYSTEM covers the configuration of our electrical system (Loop) and a multiple input single output (MISO) system that uses a controller incorporating a proprietary algorithm to manage system wide limitations and maintain energy output within system parameters such that the energy output is at a maximum power point from the power sources and within the system parameters.

US 2013/0287591 A1: ROTOR BLADE FOR VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE covers the blade design including vents within the blade design. The rotor blade is for use with a vertical axis wind turbine and has a proprietary design that includes an uncovered vent to provide an unobstructed path for airflow through the blade member and taking advantage of the geometries of the high drag side and the low drag side of the blade.
