A wind turbine that doesn’t spin.
It swings.

Nothing drawn to scale
Six days to the first room
The geometry is his
It had to be seen to be discussed
TCG · dimensioned general arrangement, 25 m variant · 23 February 2026 — 25.0 m overall · asymmetric arms at 9.5 and 19.0 m · counter-phase sweeps of 75° and 55° · Ø5.0 m yaw base
First, make the machine visible.
Four steps, six days — the crude version went first, on purpose,while changing it was still cheap. He replied the same night: “I see and it is basicly very good.”
The process
One idea, tested against reality twice.
Phase one
25 metres, on land.
01 The two rules the machine runs on
01 · SWING
The whole mast swings from a pivot at its foot. An inverted pendulum, not a rotor.
02 · PITCH
The blade in section, seen from above. At each end of the stroke it turns through 180°, so the thick nose always leads the direction of travel.
02 Then put it somewhere
In a field, at 25 m — the first time the machine had a horizon
An IKEA Israel car park at street-light height — briefed and delivered inside one afternoon, used in the pitch that week
Phase TWO
170 metres, at sea.
03 The correction — the blade was not the thing that moved
31 July · the blade tilts, the mast stands still
2 August · mast and blade are one rigid body, swinging from a four-metre pipe at the deck
04 The platform — changed completely, seven minutes after it was specified
“Forget the large square barge” · top view · 29 July 2026
Spine and outriggers · front view · 29 July 2026
Built — matte carbon truss against brushed titanium, pipes that thin as they rise
05 The blade — it had to explain itself twice
01 · The surface
02 · The section, against two reference airfoils · pivot at 30% chord
03 · Spars and ribs
04 · Resolved — a model built to be diagrammed, not rendered
One platform was solved completely.
Then it was instanced seven times.
Masts per platform
Four · 80, 110, 140, 170 m
Platforms
Seven
Spacing
280 m apart
Clearance
140 m between blade tips
Cycle
10 s — 4 swing, 1 reversal, 4 back, 1 to turn
Arcs
70°, 60°, 55°, 50° front to back
He didn’t need a film. He needed a way to talk about the machine
One platform · seamless loop · four masts running a quarter-cycle apart
Seven platforms · seamless loop · each copy started from a different point in its cycle, so the array never swings as a block
The machine had to enter rooms before it could enter the world.
“Everything is absolutely excellent. The presentation is fully ready and looks great.”
