ROTATEMP

Rotary motion → useful heat

Turn wind into warmth, without the middle steps.

ROTATEMP designs devices that convert wind, solar and rotary motion directly into heat using eddy-current technology — built for cold climates, from greenhouses and farms to remote, marine and defense sites.

What ROTATEMP does

A different path from wind to warmth

Most wind heating goes wind → electricity → resistance heater. ROTATEMP skips the conversions and puts heat where you need it.

Direct motion-to-heat

Converts rotation straight into useful heat, skipping the electricity step.

Greenhouse & farm ready

Built for greenhouses, barns and agricultural spaces through cold seasons.

Low-maintenance design

Few moving parts and rugged construction for long service in harsh sites.

The technology

Eddy currents do the work

Spin a set of magnets past a conductive mass and you induce circulating eddy currents inside it. Their resistance turns that motion straight into heat — the same physics behind induction heating, harnessed for space and process warmth.

  • Wind or shaft rotation drives the rotor directly.
  • Heat is generated in the metal itself — no burner, no element.
  • Fewer conversion steps means fewer parts to fail.

Where it fits

Built for the places that get cold

One core technology, many environments — anywhere rotary motion or wind is available and heat is needed.

Homes & buildings

Supplemental and backup heat for selected homes and utility spaces through the coldest months.

Greenhouses

Season-extending warmth for cold-climate growing, framed around real Nova Scotia winter conditions.

Farms & barns

Winter heat for animal farms, chicken barns and utility buildings where uptime matters.

Industrial sites

Process and space heating for industrial locations that already have rotary motion or wind on hand.

Polar & remote

Heat for land, polar and off-grid areas where delivering fuel is costly or impractical.

Defense applications

Resilient, fuel-independent heat for forward, coastal and remote defense installations.

Concept-level economics

Estimated 25-year heating cost per m²

A Nova Scotia winter scenario comparing ROTATEMP against conventional heating over 25 years.

SolutionCost (CAD) per m²
ROTATEMP CAD $50 / m²
20% Solar + 80% ROTATEMP CAD $320 / m²
20% Natural Gas + 80% ROTATEMP CAD $360 / m²
Natural Gas CAD $1,100 / m²
Electric Heating CAD $2,500 / m²

Based on a CAD $25,000 ROTATEMP unit serving a 500 m² greenhouse over 25 years. Energy estimates use a Nova Scotia scenario of −10 °C outside, +25 °C target, ~100 equivalent full-load heating days per year, and current Nova Scotia electricity and natural-gas rates. These are concept-level figures for discussion — not a quote, engineering estimate, or guarantee of savings. Actual cost varies with greenhouse size, glazing, insulation, air leakage, ventilation, wind exposure and heating season.
