We're on a mission to make the world a better place by creating clean energy and fight climate change.
Wind turbines are widely used, but there are two types of wind turbines that have become successful on the market. Horizontal axis turbines (HAWT) and Vertical axis turbines (VAWT). Both have their disadvantages and advantages, but we have created a new type of wind turbine - Diagonal-axis (DAWT).
Advantages
DAWTONE is a step ahead of competitors.
3D printed
DAWTONE is made from 80% 3D printed parts, making it more durable. It's also easier to fix if the need arises.
Easy to install
DAWTONE is designed to be simple and easy to install, with no heavy modification of the roof needed.
More energy absorbtion
We conducted experiments to test the performance of DAWTONE. And our results showed that in the same conditions, DAWTONE was superior to its competitors. Read More
Interesting Numbers
We have compared traditional Horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) to DAWTONE and the results are surprising. We hope that you check it out!
We picked up the most popular 100W horizontal-axis wind turbine, we could find on the market.
Experiments were conducted and filmed in aerodynamical tunnel in identical conditions.
Experiments were audited by some of the leading scientists of Georgia.
From the beginning our main goal was to achieve 70% of HAWT's efficiency, however DAWTONE proved to
be 50% more efficient with low load connected, and 145 times more efficient with high load.

Until further information is available, here are the facts that proved to be the most interesting
for potential customers of DAWTONE Wind Turbines.
- Starting of rotation: 2.5 m/s wind speed
- Capacity: From 100 W
- Installation Requirements: Easy assembly instructions
- Weight: T/B calculated
- Price: T/B calculated
Brief History of DAWT
In 2018, our team was privileged to receive a research grant from the Shota Rustaveli
Georgian National Science Foundation for developing the innovative inclined-axis wind
turbine.
For the first two years of this grant, metal materials (except 3D printed blades) were used to make wind turbine models for practical experiments based on computer simulations.
Through our customized 3D printing system, we were able to produce strong parts and soon replaced traditional manufacturing with 3D printing.
Our main objective, at the moment, is making DAWTONE at least 90% 3D printed.
In December 2022, at the end of the grant duration, we discovered that DAWTONE was far superior to the competitor HAWT.

Frequently Asked Question
Below we’ve provided the most frequently asked questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
What does DAWTONE mean?
There are two main types of widely distributed wind turbines: Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). Additionally, the first Diagonal-axis Wind Turbine (DAWTONE) has been developed.
How is DAWTONE better than other wind turbines?
1) You don't need to heavily modify the roof for the installation of DAWTONE, unlike other types of wind turbines.
2) DAWTONE starts generating energy from 2.5 m/s wind speed.
3) DAWTONE will soon be a 90% 3D-printed wind turbine, which allows for easy repair of its parts and decreases damage to the environment.
When can I buy DAWTONE?
DAWTONE will be available for sale till the end of this year.
