Saphon Energy said its new design is quieter, safer and more efficient than traditional wind turbines and is capable of capturing twice as much wind energy.
Resembling a satellite dish, the rotating bowl sits atop a mast to capture wind to move a converter in a figure-of-eight motion.

Saphon believes that a relatively small number of its 'Saphonian' turbines could provide enough power for a village.
Ani Auoini, co-chairman of Saphon Energy, told Reuters: 'This project that is planned for India consisting of 50 Saphonians producing 20 kilowatts of power, a total of one megawatt, will be a wind farm.
'This power produced in south India, could meet the demands of a small village of 1,000 houses.'
The firm has made strong claims around its device, stating that in tests the Saphonian is more than twice as efficient as traditional blade-based wind turbines.
It is also said to be able to convert up to 80 per cent of the wind energy hitting the surface.
What's more, the prize-winning design is picking up support from tech giants such as Microsoft, which is looking to such sources of energy production to power its vast cloud computing farms around the world.
