John Yan - President & CEO

EDUCATION:

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (1983) John, as a distinguished entrepreneur, and inventor, brings a wealth of expertise to the global wind energy industry.

Having recently immigrated to the USA from China, he is a renowned authority with a focus on wind turbine technology, excelling in research and development, customer solutions, production, and supply chain management.

With nearly 20 years of specialized experience in system design within the Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

(VAWT) industry, John has made significant contributions, holding the esteemed position of an Expert Committee Member in the China Energy Society of Clean Energy Committee. His widely recognized contributions and accolades include winning the National Silver Award of the China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Award in 2016. Innovating in the field, John introduced the ground-breaking "multi-disk theory" and spearheaded the development of the revolutionary "active real-time attack angle regulation" technology. His inventive contributions extend to pioneering technologies such as the Super Turbine, Air-Water Turbine, Wind-Ship Power package, a unique aircraft model, grid-independent Electrolyser, and the latest Wave Power Station technology.

John holds over 40 patents across the United States, China, Europe, and South Korea, solidifying his position as a visionary trailblazer in wind energy. As the founder and president of both SAWT Corporation and its successor, TALOS Industry Corporation, he has overseen the successful installation of over 3,000 small VAWT systems across 60 countries. Notably, his ground-breaking invention of the Super Turbine in 2014 marked a revolutionary leap in wind power generation technology. In addition to his entrepreneurial pursuits, John actively contributes to industry standards and played a pivotal role as one of the primary drafters of China's National Standard GB-T29494-2103 for small and medium vertical wind turbines.

John has six original innovations in addition to the designs of the only VAWTs that meet the worldwide commercial standards for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines. 1. The first innovation is the "Super Turbine," distinguished by its exceptionally low power generation costs (refer to fig 1). At the heart of this technology lies the "active real-time attack Talos Industry Corp. https talosindustries.com

angle regulation" system. This system dynamically adjusts the angles of the blades autonomously, responding to their positions, velocity, wind direction, and wind speed. 2. A second recent innovation is the 'Air-Water Turbine.' This specialized compressed air turbine is designed for implementation in the compressed air energy storage sector, primarily for peak shaving purposes, supplanting traditional steam turbines. With appropriate modifications, it can also be repurposed for use in CO2 turbines. Its efficiency in converting air to energy stands at an impressive 99%. The general efficiency: ρ=(Vin

3-Vout 3)/Vin 3.

The power of each rotor is: Pn=(1/2)*(1.25-1.5)*ρ*S*V 3. Talos Industry Corp. https talosindustries.com

3. The third innovation entails the ‘Wind-Ship Power Package’ designed for large vessels. This propulsion system utilizes lift-type sails as blades to propel the ship during navigation. When the ship is stationary, each set of four blades transforms into a substantial vertical wind turbine, providing power while docked in a port. 4. The fourth innovation is a ‘Grid-Independent Electrolyzer’, which operates autonomously without relying on grid power to produce hydrogen from water. The key technology lies in the ability to control each electrode through series connection, adjusting to fluctuations in power

(voltage) from wind or solar sources. Additionally, each electrolyzer can be controlled through parallel connection, adapting to changes in power (current) from wind or solar inputs. This solution addresses the challenges associated with the high cost of green hydrogen production and eliminates transportation expenses by decentralizing distribution.

5. The fifth innovation introduces aircraft equipped with helicopter capabilities. This hybrid aircraft combines the advantages of both helicopters and traditional airplanes, allowing for vertical takeoff and landing while flying similarly to conventional airplanes and accommodating heavier loads than helicopters. The aircraft's propulsion system employs a unique application of

"active real-time attack angle regulation" technology. Within the wing, numerous blades rotate along the outer surface, with each blade's angle determining the lift force and the aircraft's direction of movement.

6. The sixth innovation is the ‘Kinetic Energy Collection Device’ suitable for harnessing wave power, as well as collecting kinetic energy from electric vehicles and other sources. The device comprises a hollow plastic tube containing a magnetic ball capable of rolling within. Surrounding the tube is a coil, and a conductor is positioned on either the inner or outer ring of the coil to maintain the magnetic ball's N and S poles in a horizontal orientation within the tube. The coil- wound tube is encased in a protective sleeve, with electric energy transmitted through sealed joints and cables. Constructed from materials such as a magnetic ball, enamelled wire, hard plastic tube, iron wire, a small AC/DC rectifier, and Styrofoam, this device is compact and easily transportable due to its lack of mechanical structure. Its design is straightforward, facilitating easy manufacturing without mechanical losses. Any irregularities in movement cause the magnetic ball to roll within the tube, cutting magnetic field lines and generating electricity. Talos Industry Corp. https talosindustries.com
