Norsepower Rotor Sails have several patented special features, which ensure their durability, safety, long lifetime, easy operations, and low maintenance costs. These features include:
- Composite manufacturing technology, which ensures that the Rotor Sails are lightweight, cost effective, robust, reliable, and extremely well balanced
- Simple but effective patented mechanical construction, improving the reliability, maintainability, and overall lifetime costs of the Norsepower Rotor Sail Solution
- Icing prevention and ventilation properties which enable operation of the Rotor Sails in various weather conditions – from arctic to tropic climates
- Patented automation system, which, after initiating with a push button start, senses whenever the wind is strong enough to provide fuel savings, at which point the rotors start automatically – optimising crew time and resource
