The pictures above are Wind Data Maps (compliments of Environment Canada) for the province of Ontario and part of Quebec, Canada. Traditionally in Ontario, Canada wind turbines would only be feasible in very limited parts of southern Ontario and around the Great Lakes. The 100 meter wind map shows that very few areas of Ontario have winds above 8 m/s (17.9 miles/hour) (light orange in colour).
With the Magenn MARS "Wind Power Anywhere" technology, there are less limits on placement of our wind turbines as we are able to get into the "low level wind jet streams" that exist the higher you go in elevation. The 270 meter wind map clearly shows that most areas of Ontario have winds above the 8 m/s range when you get to a height of 270 meters.
MARS technology of a tether versus a tower, enables more areas around the world to utilize wind power.
Wind Speed Conversion Table
The table below can be used to convert between common speed and velocity units:

Kilometer per hour (km/h) |
Nautical mile per hour (knot) |
Miles per hour (mph) |
Feet per second (ft/s) |
