AES Wind Announces the First Installation of Its New 'AES WindJet 5(TM)' Wind
Turbine in North America
New, revolutionary design offers all of the efficiency of propellers without
the drawbacks.




KANSAS CITY, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- AES Wind today installed and commissioned
its first demonstration "AES WindJet 5" Vertical Axis Twin-Rotor Wind Turbine
in North America at the corporate office of A.L. Huber, the premier
construction contractor in the Greater Kansas City area based in Overland
Park, KS.

"We are very grateful to A.L. Huber and Burns & McDonnell for their support in
erecting and operating this demonstration unit and we look forward to building
a partnership with them to deliver clean and efficient wind power throughout
the region" said Bill Prevost, President of AES Wind.

As leaders in the construction, engineering and technology fields, the team
has come together to design, build and demonstrate new small wind turbine
technologies to the Kansas City community. An on-site "demonstration" area
will be open to the public where visitors will be educated on the technology
and also view a real-time turbine performance and energy generation display
panel.

The new wind turbine is rated at 5kW and has several innovative features,
which increase efficiency by up to 54% over existing designs.  It also has a
simplified mechanical structure which improves efficiency and enhances
stability.  Because its rotor speed is slower than traditional designs, it is
quieter, lasts longer and is far less likely to create problems for birds and
people.

The new turbine was designed by AeroNet, a partner company of AES Wind, with
headquarters in Seoul, Korea and is the first of a family of AES WindJet Small
Wind Turbines to be installed in North America with power ratings between
1.5kW and 100kW.

"We are delighted to be able to demonstrate the energy generating efficiency
of this patent-protected breakthrough design" stated Dr. Tom Sabourin, CEO of
AES Wind, "and we are especially pleased to have the designer, Dr. Seungbae
Lee, CEO of AeroNet with us to celebrate today" he added.
