Vision and Value Proposition

Thunderbird Power has designed the most ultra-efficient commercial use wind turbine ever.It is called the PowerStack and the proprietary technology behind it should either replace, or be included in, EVERY wind turbine on the planet.

The Problem

Conventional turbines are notoriously inefficient resulting in a poor average ROI even WITH subsidies (which are set to disappear).Many wind farm operators struggle to make any profit, affecting the entire vertical market globally.

Target Market and Opportunity

Wind power has been the world's fastest growing source of energy for the last ten years increasing roughly 29% annually. Sunedison predicts a $4 trillion dollar market opportunity in the wind and solar markets by 2020 (dominated by Wind). source Thunderbird’s goal is to: ●  License its technology to every existing wind turbine

manufacturer. ●  Develop new wind farms through joint ventures.

Target Market and Opportunity

…. although we truly feel that the technical superiority of the Turbine, and therefore

the value of the Company's intellectual property, will make it a highly sought a9er acquisi;on.

The Solution

The PowerStack produces electricity (commercial grade) at a fraction of the cost per kWh of any form of energy, renewable or fossil. This ultra efficiency is due in part to:

●  Superior operating range (low to high wind)

●  Starts producing at wind speeds at 4 mph

●  That is roughly 10 mph less than the competition

●  Exponentially more power output at higher wind speeds

compared to competition (crucial)

●  Low cost to manufacture, ship and maintain

Validation of Technology

Dr. Peter Jenkins, one of the leading experts in the field of Turbomachinery, has validated the technology behind the PowerStack

and confirmed that the PowerStack extracts 32% more of the available

energy in wind than a conventional turbine due to its radical design

differences.

That is a truly disruptive advantage which changes everything.

Validation of Technology

The Illinois Institute of Technology

Has reviewed the technology and produced the following statement in writing

“if the experimental and computational tests of the LW (PowerStack) design confirm LW’s (Thunderbird’s) projected performance, this turbine will represent a new class of wind machine; that is, a disruptive technology.”

Team

C o - i n v e n t o r s R i c h a r d S u t z a n d Dr. Peter Jenkins are two of a small handful of people (less than 10) in the entire world who have both the experience and skillset necessary to have recognized, conceptualized, validated and developed what is now the intellectual property behind the PowerStack Turbine.Sutz has two inventions enshrined in the Smithsonian Institute.

Competition As a result the PowerStack’s power Curve which shows a turbine's power output at a given wind speed looks like this compared to it’s closest competitor for the same unit price.

Growth Strategy

●  Take advantage of its performance superiority. The

PowerStack is inherently much more efficient providing a

minimum 350% ROI and as high as 1000% (depending on

Wind Speed)

●  Able to generate electricity profitably in areas of the world

where conventional turbines cannot.

●  PowerStack customers will be able to run profitable new, or

retrofit existing, wind farms with a much larger Return on

Investment (ROI).12

How will we create shareholder value?

●  The technical superiority of the PowerStack and therefore the value of the Company's intellectual property will make it a highly sought after acquisition

●  Targeted payments of dividends of 50% of monthly net (after tax); revenue to be paid out as dividends on a quarterly basis

●  Sale of Substantially All of the Company’s Assets @ $7.50 per share or more with ⅔ of shareholders’ approval (to sell for less requires unanimous shareholder approval)

●  JV’s with large companies established in the wind turbine industry etc.

Why we are in a position to succeed

●  Our co-inventors are credible and uniquely capable

●  Our technology is exponentially better

●  The market for our technology is massive and growing

●  We have no competition in low wind areas

●  We outperform the competition in high wind areas

In Conclusion

Thunderbird is positioned to create a fundamental shift in the wind turbine and renewable energy industry by introducing its patented technology behind the world's most efficient wind turbine. The PowerStack produces electricity at a fraction of the cost per kWh than any other form, fossil or renewable.
