Tinkerer, out-of-the-box thinker, inventor and entrepreneur, Christopher Moore has been involved in Clean Energy research since the late 1990's. For most of his early years he did open source work on his OUPower.com website, sharing everything he was working on openly with the world.
In 2017 Chris shifted gears and began the process of patenting his wind turbine technology. He founded Harmony Turbines Inc in August 2020 continuing the previous R&D work and patent filings.
In June 2022, Chris's wife, Cheryl, joined him full-time at Harmony Turbines in an effort to help towards the final push through prototyping and producing test and beta units.
At Harmony Turbines, we believe in transparency in our efforts, successes and struggles, therefore our project updates are honest, sometimes silly and sometimes raw. We hope you will continue following our journey as we make our way through development and testing and eventually into production.

Great update again team. Keep up the great work.
Looks like a great product. Looking forward to ability to purchase. Unfortunate that Canadian investment not possible.
Thank you Eric, Sorry that right now Canadians are unable to invest. We do have a donation link if you feel strongly about helping right now.
thanks for the update, awesome progress yall are making, timing was great as i finally got the refund back into bank account from the last raise that didnt work out, looking forward to see where you go. I believe you are adressing a HUGE market potential in low wind residential, without heavy roof loads like for solar, huge potential.
Am I correct in assuming that you will have an anemometer near the alpha unit so you can gauge the performance at low wind speeds?
Hi Ken, yes we plan on having a full array of things we continually monitor at the alpha unit.
Nate, how did that black direct drive 36 pole radial (pancake) alternator work out? I have one that puts out a good voltage and current at low RPM (60-100 rpm) but loads heavy at full load. I was wondering if a 3-D printed ring gear for a belt drive attached to the drum of the alternator could reduce the full load torque to a manageable level.
I've not looked back through old episodes. What I have not heard anything about is what size base/cement pad are you currently thinking these turbines are going to be needing? Your not done designing so it could could change. I understand that needed flexability.
How much power would a turbine probably produce, that fits exactly to the frame shown in your video? Thanks a lot!
Calculations show it should be at least 500w in a 25mph wind. But until we get our ALPHA unit up and begin real-world testing we will not know for sure. The real question is how well our turbines produce power in lower wind speeds, say 8 - 15mph. All wind turbines are rated at windspeeds of around 25mph. But winds this high are rare for many parts of the country, especially at or near ground level. We're doing our best to be as efficient as possible in these lower wind speed ranges. -Just how much remains to be seen.
Thank you@@HarmonyTurbines
GREAT Update Chris & Cheryl- smart move re the development of your own generartor - that can wait just now. I really like you are testing and testing and testing others generators to find your exact needs re tourque and low revs generation.. your transparency comes thru Chris & Cheryl- well done Guys. Upwards and Onwards...
Loving the updates! Unfortunately from the comments there are a minority of people that a) didn’t watch the video and b) don’t understand how complicated the process of development can be. I invested with StartEngine. I believe in you guys and your product. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you Slartibart! Like anyone sharing a journey online, there will always be trolls and there will always be people who say negative things. Yes most of the issue is that people just don't understand how complex it is to bring a good quality product to market. Hopefully it's abundantly clear from our videos that we're not messing around. Small wind power desperately needs a leader, we're hoping to fill that roll but that means we need to do this PROPERLY. That will take some time and some money so that's why we're sharing the entire journey with the world as we go through the process.
@@HarmonyTurbines Well said, yes it is abundantly clear :) Much respect, and all the best!
What's happening with the scoop design. Is that finalized?
Our scoop design testing was done with miniature 3D printed models. We picked one of the better performing designs to try as an alternative to our regular scoops that you see in 99% of our videos. We will put this alternate design out for testing along with our regular ones to see how it performs. Further testing will continue and perhaps we will come up with newer designs that perform well. Those will be offered as later (newer) models if we find that performance with those newer models is better. People who get early models will sign a statement acknowledging that they are getting an early BETA model and that they understand designs may be improved in future models.
@@HarmonyTurbines Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing the alternative design.
If you need a test location to test things at. I am retired and live on a ridge in Waterford, VA and I have a background in Systems Management and Monitoring of Network equipment via SNMP. I would be willing to assist in testing if you would like to test a system here. 😀 Happy to Help. :-D
this is taking too long
gut feeling here is, they will deliver something... at some point... which will not deliver much power but will have some customers because it will look cool... until then they will keep doing more and more money rises...and sales will dissapoint... I have seen it many times before
Dis you even watch the video?
@@javi3121 Gut feeling or understanding based on empirical data? If you’ve seen it “many times before”, then your gut should have nothing to do with it.
@@slartibartfast7921 as in start ups failing, which happens all the time, it is just my opinion. Go ahead and put your money where your mouth is and buy some stock.
@@javi3121 You didn’t answer my question did you? Which is it? Your gut, or relevant information relating to this company… other than it’s a startup and news flash, some start ups fail.
El Paso, TX, Ruidoso, NM, RV Motorhome here patiently waiting. Charge on!
Good luck for Tashkent
Can't wait to see what you guys produce! I'll be one of your first customers for my off grid cabin.
Thanks for the update, looking forward to the future with Harmony Turbines!
best wishes 👍
I am planning to move to the Jersey Shore area near the bay and ocean. My plan before seeing your videos, was to put wind and solar on my next house. I hope you have completed your testing and will be selling your systems by that time. Thanks for your vision, I hope your dream comes true. Phil
you sure have the been in the worst economy while pushing forward , i am one of thousands waiting and wanting harmony
3d print Is possible ?
It looks like they have a lot of aluminum on frame, which is apparently a difficult material to 3D print. And their machining looks particularly good.
Unfortunately 3-D printed parts wouldn't last in the sun/rain/snow.
@@HarmonyTurbines no but there are types of filaments suitable for atmospheric agents. And in any case I was wondering if you have the possibility of creating a drawing from your prototype, and then creating an stl file from that drawing.

“she still had the sink open” don’t blame your mum 😂
Ok, but where is the most effective place for the magnet to pass? Over the whole of the coil or over the end of the core?
3D printing???
👍👍👊
the technology future, is here; congratulations
Do you all have any of the product for testing? I live in the caribbean Trinidad and Tobago to be precise, we have high winds down here called the northeast trade winds it’s gonna be super for testing….
If you'd be able to email us at support@harmonyturbines.com we can discuss more about beta testing there! 😊
Why not take the opportunity to attach a garden hose and flush out any possible sediment in it? I did read where someone else tried something similar and when he pulled the element out, he couldn't put the new one in because sediment was preventing him.
Drag based high solidity rotors like this have been around forever and are nowhere near as efficient as modern lift based HAWT.
It is nice to see these folks. But I am hoping to see your turbine IN ACTION. I want to see it work and show how much power it produces and how that benefits a home owner , ranch, farm, or other business . Do you have a video of that ?
As we get further along in our testing and have beta units installed, we plan to publish the footage and more information. Stay tuned!
I am looking for a comprehensive video that shows your product in action, actually providing some level of power to an actual home or business. Do you have that ?

wow. This could prove revolutionary. but i am contused that how the main pip rotate to close and open the wings??
great update. too often i've been part of a kickstarter campaign that says nothing! so your updates are really appreciated
I note that the alternator coupled to the prototype is the EXACT same one I have and have been unable to locate a appropriate blade system. I know mine can produce .6V at 10 rpm and over 60V at about 60 rpm but it needs serious torque to not stall; the Harmony could be the answer! Lower coefficient of drag than the typical Savonius while producing equivelent torque. Most of the areas in my country have wind speeds at 20 feet of about 12 mph; well within Harmony's range of function. Would you offer the blade unit with a universal coupler for customers to utilze their own alternator?
Chris- Cheryl- Hannah & Team- WOW great upadate - a bit of a bummer regarding the Generator Company in CO you were to visit- BUT as they say ALL things happen for a reason - and others will arise Im sure. Love the general update and LOVE the transparency with NO B.S. ! - most important when seeking Investors. Please keep me in mind for AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND when it comes to global BETA testing 🙂 As soon as my investmnet funds drop I will load up big time - as I have always believed in what you are doing - and will reach out to several kety contacts in renewables to take a serious look at Harmony Turbines and all on offer. A CLASS Operation your Guys are - thank you. Cheers, Mark.
Hi Mark, thanks for you kind words! This is why we don't put all our eggs in one basket. :) Cheers! -Cheryl
Great communication and good update. Welcome Hannah, It is nice to see your face. Best wishes to the entire Harmony Turbines Team.
Is there another way I can invest other than Andes? They are asking for too much information that is none of their business.
Hi, we just responded to your email. Unfortunately Andes is the only way we can accept investments at this time. Because crowdfunding raises are SEC regulated, they require brokers (such as Andes, StartEngine, Wefunder, etc) to ask questions like this. I'm sorry we don't have any other way to invest at this time!
Please email us at support@harmonyturbines.com if you have any questions.
You guys can do it! Much encouragement from Florida
AWESOME WORK!!!
Best video ever for fixing this problem! Thank you both so much! (i only cleaned it , and it worked again.)
Thank you for reminding me about the crowd funding. When you made the initial announcement, I was unable to successfully make an additional investment. But this time the process worked correctly, and I was able to put a little more money toward making your product a reality. I am still looking forward to trying one out on our farm. We usually have some type of breeze all the time and today, there is a storm building and the wind is blowing quite hard in gusts. I think your design is the key to taking advantage of all those different wind speeds. Speaking of storms, I know your design will furl as wind speeds increase but are you taking into your calculations sudden changes in wind speed. I'm watching the trees outside. There is probably a steady 10-20 mph wind, but sometimes I am seeing a sudden increase to double that or more. Will the turbine be able to furl quickly enough to protect itself and how long will it take it to open back up once the gust is gone. You have probably considered all of these things, but as I am invested (quite literally) in your success, I just wanted to mention those thoughts to you.
Thank you for investing again! We truly appreciate your support. Yes, we have taken these things into consideration and will be working through the furling algorithms once we have some beta units installed. We'll be looking for the most efficiency in response times as we move through testing.
Why not use a CVT (continuously variable transmission) ?
Yassssss!!!!! Love it!
