AML is a developer of advanced generators used in large scale (8MW+) wind turbines For the past 4 years AML has become a world leader in large scale generator technology and has been selected by the US Depart of Energy as the prominent technology developer in this field AML uses superconduc9vity and related technologies to significantly reduce the cost of producing energy with wind while elimina4ng the need for rare-­‐earth materials As offshore wind turbines scale up to sizes of 8MW and beyond, AML-­‐
enabled generators will become an essen9al component in this mul9-­‐
billion dollar market. AML and it’s world-­‐class development team of collabora9ng companies are entering the build and test phase of the superconduc9ng wind turbine generator program AML is seeking a $20 Million investment for build, dynamometer test and field test ac9vi9es.
