The Regenesis system has shown high potential in harvesting man-made wind by reducing power consumption for HVAC systems, and by helping the motor propel air outward. The design uses a three-phase eco-saver motor driven by a variable frequency drive and a more efficient, retrofitted propulsion blade. The mounted recapture blade spins in the opposite direction of, but in unison with, the HVAC unit’s original blade. The two blades face each other and create a propeller vortex, giving a 2:1 ratio between both fans and a consistent airflow, delivering a consistent energy output. Overall, the Regenesis system managed to recapture close to 15 percent of the energy.
