Our Beginnings

The Oregon Wind Helyx™ "Urban Wind Turbine" is the product of many years of research and testing. It was invented in 2002 by Oregon Wind founder Toby Kinkaid to fill the need for an efficient wind turbine that would work well in an urban environment.

In 2004, Kinkaid teamed up with Brad Malsin and Timothy Ray, both of whom brought capital and business expertise to the project. They hired engineers and manufacturing experts in order to produce and test their first models. Eric Kaster and Sattie Clark were brought on as consultants in 2006 and then became shareholders and board members in 2008.

Since 2002, Oregon Wind has produced several prototypes and conducted several feasability tests (pictured at left). The current prototype capitalizes on the strength of each of its successors and promises exceptional efficiency at an unprecedented low cost.
