The Hunter Project of Mass Megawatts Wind Power has been considerably completed and testing of the new wind augmenter and wind diverter has commenced. This project will be operational after the completion of the initial testing of the new technologies and testing of the furling system. The wind velocity is increased to more than 50% by the wind augmenter resulting in a 3-fold increase in the production of energy. This increase is highlighted in the initial test results. The wind diverter also brings about an additional increase of 100% more power output from the blades.
