Small-scale wind power has long promised to turn rooftops into mini power stations – and for decades, it’s mostly underdelivered.
Gevi, which spun-out of the Università di Pisa in Italy in 2022, hopes to change that. It's just raised €2.7m for a wind turbine that uses AI to tweak the blade angles in real-time, harnessing more energy.
