“Surigae” -The Biggest Typhoon in the history of Palau

Category 4 Super Typhoonwith wind speeds of up to 136 km/hour
1,500 houses were damaged and 150 destroyed

Critical water and power infrastructure damaged

What is Challenergy?
Challenergy solves the traditional issues of Wind-Power Generation

Bird Strike

No Harm to Animals

NoiseLess Sound

Low-Reliability

Better Durability

The Features of Challenergy

Vertical Axis
-Omnidirectioinal
Low Maintenance Cost
Installable in Urban Areas

Magnus Effect-Principal of Curve Ball
Controllable by Rotation Speed
More Durable than Propellers

Challenergy can sustain the electricity supply in Disasterand in the Unsuitable Area for the conventional wind-power generation

Construction of the 1st demonstration unit in the Philippines

Super Typhoon Kiko in September 11th, 2021
- Classified as Category 5 (*Wind speed more than 70m/s)- 2nd strongest typhoon in the history of Batanes- Water and Telecommunication infrastructure have been
unavailable due to power cut

Batan Island,Batanes

How Challenergy
worked under the Typhoon-Kept the power generation for approx. 11kW evenunder the strong typhoon
