The most significant changes incorporated into the Wind Harvester 3.0 were cantilevering the basic H-type rotor, dramatically lowering its solidity, and moving from induction generation to power converters. The work produced by Wind Harvest European engineers Charliaos (Haris) Kotsarinis (aerodynamic modeling), Ionut Munteanu (cantilevered mechanical engineering), and Pablo Paz (electrical engineering) formed the basis of the design. In 2015 Antonio Ojeda and David Malcolm were brought on board to serve as Lead Engineer and Senior Engineer. They completed the modeling of model 3.0 and the redesign of model 3.1
