For any new investors, the update in the Braveheart results is quite compelling:
Gyrometric operational update
GyroMetric has developed a patent protected system of hardware and software to accurately monitor the run-out in rotating shafts. Warnings generated by this system help prevent expensive and untimely breakdowns in industry and transport. Its products are used to measure the performance of rotating shafts in a wide variety of applications such as marine engines, wind turbines and industrial machine tools.
The system is now installed on a seven Megawatt wind turbine nacelle at the ORE Catapult test facility in Blyth and has produced exceptional results which were widely reported by ORE to its consortium of industrial partners. The results demonstrated the exceptional accuracy of GyroMetric's technology in measuring bearing run out and twist angle at the low rotational speeds associated with wind turbines.
This information will enable manufacturers and operators to better predict the performance of these very large and high value machines, and the results have created strong interest from several of the global wind turbine manufacturers who now want to install GyroMetric systems on their own test turbines.
In July, the company presented its technology at the Global Offshore Wind conference in Manchester, and at the recent Wind Energy Exhibition in Hamburg, the premier world exhibition in wind power generation. GyroMetric had its own stand, the theme of which was moving from analogue to digital for monitoring and safeguarding wind turbine shafts. A working demonstration test rig was operating on the stand, connected to a computer and showing real-time results graphically on screen. Arranged by the British Department for International Trade, David Orton, GyroMetric CEO, was given a speaking slot at the exhibition, when he was able to expand on the theme of digital monitoring and safeguarding of turbine shafts. The level of enquiries was above expectations and the geographical spread was global, for example GyroMetric was pleased to welcome representatives of three of the largest Chinese wind turbine manufacturers to the stand.
