Turnbridge Consulting Group

 

 

Turnbridge Consulting Group, LLC is a consulting company whose partners have over 20 years' experience in developing and promoting small to medium sized businesses to sell to or partner with other businesses.  We are now collaborating with a small cadre of experts to promote a solar vortex  generation system that can be assembled into several potential self-powering structures: a large, self-standing greenhouse, a large office building or a large mixed-use building that can house businesses, condominiums along with a greenhouse.  We are now partnered with the original inventor who has developed a revolutionary solar vortex energy system that resides within a specially shaped greenhouse solar collector.  We have also collaborated with an architect/engineer, a researcherand college administrator at Illinois Institute of Technology who has developed and patented aerodynamic software systems to test our vortex designs, and two additional experts with expertise in managing research and construction projects.   We are seeking up to $2,000,000 to engage in a three-phased project: 1) conduct computer modeling with our colleagues at Illinois Institute of Technology.  Once we have confirmed the efficiency of the design through the modeling process, 2) we plan to build a fully operational scale model solar collection and generation device (1/10 acre size) as a proof of concept.  The model will operate under natural conditions for up to one year to assess its actual performance in generating and storing electricity, as well as growing organic crops within the structure. The design will also be assessed for its durability and flexibility to weather impacting its structure. 

Finally, 3) we will use the operational data from the scale test model to project the performance and cost of a much larger structure for a full-scale system to run on a large farm or to provide economic support for a small community, a military base, a prison or a Native American reservation.  This model could also provide design information for very large special multi-use solar power generation structures that could house businesses, and condos along with cultivation areas for an integrated living and business mini-city.  We will build a business plan in phase (3) derived from the first two phases to present to angel investors and/or additional grant providers.  Once additional funds have been obtained, we will partner with one or more construction partners who will build additional full-scale greenhouses/buildings.   We will then serve as managers of these structures over several years to demonstrate their business output.  We will maintain a consulting relationship with these partner business(es) for at least two additional years and provide follow-on promotion of the system to the public and interested businesses.
