Viryd Technologies, superior wind power generation, raises $2.1M
Viryd is a spin-off of Fallbrook Technologies, which makes continuously variable transmission (CVT) technologies for bicycles. Installing a CVT on a bike allows for smooth and infinitely variable gearing, rather than a standard number like 10 or 21 gears.
Gearing changes are a point where energy is lost in standard transmissions, which makes the CVT a natural fit for a power generator with unsteady input like a wind turbine.
Trying to improve on the wind turbine market… Continue Reading
