Dynamo 30 kW Generator

We are excited to announce that we are launching the Dynamo 30 kW Generator’s commercial variant next week and are accepting pre-orders! 

Request: if you know a journalist who might be interested in covering the program, would you mind forwarding this email to them? Thank you. 

Background: When we started working with the U.S. Air Force to modify our aerospace motor technology into generators, we figured the market would be Department of Defense-only. They were looking for a multi-use generator that could also work as an aircraft start cart and microgrid hub, and the Dynamo generator that we built for them enables a 90% reduction in combined system weight: 8,000 lbs to 800 lbs. 

We now have multiple DoD pre-orders for the Dynamo system, and we plan to finalize the design and begin production in the next 18 months. We are thrilled.

Wright Dynamo Generator

As we started demonstrating Dynamo’s capabilities at DoD trade shows, we found that we were fielding interest not only from service members, but also from other attendees from a variety of commercial industries. They liked the idea of a compact, efficient, quiet generator that could be used in their applications. 

The core technology in Dynamo is a 30 kW 3-phase inverter. Inverter generators have been the fastest-growing segment of the portable generator market for the past few years, displacing legacy synchronous generator technology due to their high efficiency and low noise. See here for a deeper dive into the differences between inverter and synchronous generators. 

We learned that while inverter generators have been rising in popularity in the below-2 kW portable generator market, no one had developed an inverter generator at the 30+ kW level due to the need for a 30 kW 3-phase inverter. See here for a deeper dive into why larger generators tend to be 3-phase rather than single phase. 

However, Wright had developed a 3-phase 30 kW inverter for Dynamo! We realized we had something unique. 

So we started speaking with potential customers, and within a few months we had 300+ pre-orders for a commercial variant of Dynamo. The commercial variant is only a generator, without the aircraft start cart feature. One customer wanted to use it for the specialized needs of the film industry. Another wanted to use it as part of a battery-solar backup power module. A third wanted to use it in a space-constrained maritime application. 

Dynamo Commercial Generator

Introducing Dynamo for Commercial Applications

We are now accepting public pre-orders for the commercial variant of Dynamo. Dynamo is a compact 30 kW inverter generator that is:

  • Ultra-quiet: up to 20% quieter than legacy generators, minimal vibration
  • Ultra-compact: up to 50% smaller than legacy generators
  • Ultra-efficient: Up to 50% more efficient than legacy generators at low loads, and up to 8% more efficient at full loads (note that most generators run at low load most of the time)


If your generator is near your home, quieter is better. If your generator is on the roof, lower vibration means less disruption. If your generator is on a job site, high efficiency means low costs. 

We are also accepting pre-orders for 30 kW 3-phase inverters separately as we have received interest from B2B generator manufacturers who would like to use Wright’s inverters in their custom generator applications. 

Please reply to this email if you would like to learn more. 

We have been grateful for introductions made over the years, so if you know any journalists at industrial trade journals (e.g., Compact Equipment Magazine, Equipment World, etc.) or science magazines (Popular Science, TechCrunch, etc.), we would be grateful for a connection. 

Thank you in advance! 

Electrically,

Jeff and the Wright Dynamo Team
