Harmony Turbines

About the offering

Harmony Turbines Inc. is a clean energy startup based in Lebanon, PA, developing small-scale and residential vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) for homes, farms, small businesses, and off-grid applications. The company was founded by Christopher Moore, an entrepreneur with over 25 years of clean energy experience, alongside his wife Cheryl Moore (COO) and volunteer business mentor Robert Hadfield. The company's core differentiator is a patented furling system that allows turbines to continue generating full power during high-wind conditions while simultaneously protecting the unit from damage — a capability the team claims competing technologies lack. Beyond the furling system, Harmony Turbines has developed its own SAF (Simplified Axial Flux) generator engineered specifically for low-RPM wind turbines, and is working on a charging system that may eliminate the need for a traditional charge controller due to the power-regulating effect of the furling mechanism. As of the campaign, the company is pre-revenue and still in the R&D and testing phase. A full-sized Alpha unit has been installed on their headquarters rooftop in Lebanon, PA, and is being used to test core systems. Wind tunnel testing was conducted on over 130 scale models to identify an optimal scoop shape and arrangement. The first BETA site is expected to break ground soon at Penn State University – Harrisburg Campus, with a second PSU location (Berks Campus) in serious discussions and two additional private homeowner BETA sites targeted for 2026. Successful BETA testing is expected to lead to initial orders and low-volume production. The company has raised over $3.5M USD to date from 3,200+ investors across prior and current funding rounds on Wefunder. The current Wefunder campaign had raised approximately $713,012 toward a $3,000,000 goal at the time of the page snapshot, with a minimum investment of $200. The company has built a community of over 48,000 people including social media followers, prospective BETA testers, potential channel partners, and customers waiting for product launch. Funds from the current raise are intended to support continued R&D, operating expenses (payroll, rent, insurance), advancement of the BETA testing program, and bridging operations until the company reaches low-volume production and revenue-positive status. The company targets an estimated $3.47B addressable market, with primary focus on residential, farm, and small business installations, and longer-term expansion plans into marine and recreational (RV, boating, camping) markets. The SAF generator is also seen as having potential applications in other low-RPM systems beyond wind turbines. The company has received notable attention from social media influencers and YouTube channels focused on clean energy and investing.
