Consequently,rather than being a relic of the cold war, there are many research opportunities at the TUM.Based on our preliminary research there is significant wind potential in Moldova. Hence theopportunity for alternative energy research and energy-credit business opportunities abound inMoldova. In addition, several of the faculty members at the TUM are experts in electricmachines, power engineering, and mechanical engineering1. Several follow-on research projectsincluding the development of small, robust and cost-effective wind-turbines are currently beingjointly pursued. The generator technology for the small wind

As will be shown, the OTR is not restricted in time or inspace, and thus it offers the
