Some of the highlights of the Selsam Superturbine include a direct drive generator, no transmission of power, self-aiming, floats, tilts, moves easily, serviced at sea or easily moved ashore for servicing.<\/p>\n<p>Groovy Green points out that the Selsam Superturbine can lay itself down or partially submerge in order to survive an intense storm. The design of the Selsam Superturbine is like a bending reed or arched back where the spine will bend forwards and backwards easily without twisting that could damage the unit.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will the Selsam Superturbine produce electricity, but also hydrogen, synthetic liquid fuels and it can be used to desalinate water as well. By attaching a blimp to the top of the Selsam Superturbine, it becomes more powerful and yet a similar configuration may work on land as well.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of having one large wind rotor, which is the standard, the Selsam Superturbine uses several <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.selsam.com\/\" title=\"small rotors\">smaller rotors<\/a> with faster rotational speeds and no need for a gearbox. With carbon fiber drive shafts the Selsam Superturbine will bend without breaking and deliver higher output than most standard wind turbines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Selsam Superturbine is an offshore concept that harnesses wind power while at sea to produce energy.
