Leviathan Energy - Confidential

A Game-Changer in the Wind

IndustryDr. Daniel Farb, CEO

Leviathan Wind EnergizerTM LLC

Concerned About Climate Change?

The fastest way to increase the world supply of clean energy is to increase the power output of already

grid-connected wind turbines.

Profits are Pain Point for Wind Industry

The Wind Energizer is the best way to

decrease energy costs and increase wind farm profits.

EVALUATION BY TOP TECHNOLOGY AND FINANCIAL

PEOPLE AT GE

“…we all believe the Wind Energizer is potentially a

game changing product that could enhance our wind

energy portfolio...” John Cole, G.E. Energy Financial Services

Prototype Witness

“…the Leviathan Wind Energizer outperformed the same turbine installed with no device by producing 156% more energy over a 24 hour period.”

--Mike Green, MG Lightning Electrical Engineering

How Do We Do It?

Without even touching the turbine.

We make computer models of the wind, the turbine, and an

optimal structure.High tech engineering; low

tech build out

WIND ENERGIZERTM

This structure placed in

the way of the wind increases velocity in the plane

of the blades.

With Wind EnergizerRESULT

oMore uniform wind speed.oNeutralizes effect of higher speeds from elevation.oThe value is preventing gearbox replacement every 5 years.(1 Gearbox = $500,000)

PERCENTAGE EFFECT

It reduced the cut-in speed by 1.2 m/s.The Wind EnergizerTM changes the world’s wind map, making millions of square miles available for wind farms.

More Than Doubles Area for Wind Farms

Wind Energizer is a key to market expansion.

Market and MoneyTarget customer: Wind farms. Large, easily

identified, lots of money.300,000 turbines for retrofit30,000 more per year

Customer: Priced to enable 25% ROI Leviathan Profit

Early phase: $200,000 per turbine Later phase: $300,000 per turbine

Once effect on maintenance is monetized, we can charge more.

Next Steps$1 million (or half with a grant) for large

scale demo and certification. In the wind industry, certification = bankability.

Letter of support to do the test at NREL; doing it there means added credibility.

InvestmentComps for valuation: $20-100 million even

before commercialization because of size of potential.

Profits of over $1 billion in 6 years: Why?oCompelling customer value (ROI 1-4 years)oNo competing productoSmall number of buyers to reachoScalable manufacturing easily outsourced

Your Profit

$1 million enables us to sell and become

profitable.We turn your $1 million

into $1 billion.

Clear Business Plan1. Validation/Certification2. Retrofit Market (immediate value to wind

farms)3. Sales models: outright sale or choice of

co-ownership of electricity4. Partner with manufacturers5. Partner with wind farm developers6. IPO7. Vertical integration

SUMMARYThe Wind EnergizerTM can change the wind

industry and, secondarily, the planet. Increases power and profit, decreases maintenance—BY A LARGE AMOUNT

Patented, proven technology.High tech product design with a relatively simple

execution.No similar products on the market.Growing market for next 50 yearsNext: Large scale demonstration direct to

commercial stage. YOU WON’T HAVE A SECOND CHANCE.
