Atlas After Dark: Field Colours, Night Vision and MyTESUP

A TESUP Atlas vertical wind turbine in coyote brown standing on dry rocky ground, with desert plains and mountains behind

September 27, 2026

Remote posts need two things the grid can’t give them: power, and a clear view when the light goes. Atlas already makes the power. Now we’re teaching it to see.

Border stations, training grounds, field camps and observation posts all share the same problem. They are far from the grid, and generators are loud, thirsty and need fuel brought in. Atlas is a vertical wind turbine built for exactly those places. It starts turning in a light breeze, keeps working in a storm, and runs at 35–40 dB, quieter than a conversation.

This post shows where Atlas is heading: three field colours, a camera on the face, and what the view looks like on your phone at 2 a.m.

Three colours for the field

Silver looks right on a roof. In the field, you want the turbine to belong to the ground it stands on. We rendered Atlas in three field colours, each matched to the terrain it is meant for.

Atlas turbine in coyote brown on desert ground — **Coyote brown**
Arid ground, desert and dry scrub.

Atlas turbine in olive drab standing in tall grass under a storm sky — **Olive drab**
Grassland, farmland and woodland edges.

Atlas turbine in ranger green on a muddy field with tyre tracks — **Ranger green**
Mud, forest and training areas.

The body, the 6-MC4 face sheet, the All in One flanges and every blade come straight from our production CAD files, down to the blade tabs hammered flat on the top flange. If your project needs Atlas in a specific colour, get in touch through the Atlas page.

A wind turbine that can see

The camera sits in the Atlas face, next to the TESUP logo.

Our R&D team is building a camera into the Atlas face, next to the TESUP logo. It runs on the power the turbine makes and is designed to stream to MyTESUP.

The idea is simple: every Atlas becomes a watch post. Where the turbine stands, you can see, without a separate camera mast or cable run.

The camera module is in development. Specifications may change before release.

Night, on your phone

MyTESUP already shows what your turbine is producing and lets you set its voltage limit from 0 to 400 V. With the camera, the same app becomes a live view of the site. Here is what each night mode looks like.

Infrared (IR, black & white)

Black and white infrared camera view of a ploughed field at night, lit by the camera’s own IR light — Simulated viewThe camera lights the scene with infrared the eye can’t see. Close ground shows sharp detail, and standing water turns black. This is the classic security-camera look, and it works in total darkness.

Night vision (low light, green)

Green night vision camera view of grassland under heavy cloud — Simulated viewThe camera amplifies what little light there is from the moon, stars and clouds. It keeps the whole landscape visible out to the horizon, not only what the IR light reaches.

Thermal (white-hot, concept)

Here a second Atlas 13 m away shows up bright white from its warm generator, and the app marks it automatically. Thermal needs a dedicated thermal sensor, so we show this as a concept of what MyTESUP could display.

Pick the blade set for your site

The same Atlas body takes three blade sets, all fitted to the same All in One flanges. Choose by the wind you actually get, not the wind you hope for.

Atlas with Low-Wind blade set — **Low-Wind**
2–20 m/s · 2 kW peak

Atlas with Moderate-Wind blade set — **Moderate-Wind**
4–25 m/s · 3.8 kW peak

Atlas with High-Wind six-blade set and camera on the face — **High-Wind**
5–35 m/s · 4.5 kW peak

Blade set	Wind range	Peak output	Best for
Low-Wind	2–20 m/s	2 kW	Sheltered sites and light, steady wind
Moderate-Wind	4–25 m/s	3.8 kW	Open ground and most field camps
High-Wind	5–35 m/s	4.5 kW	Ridges, coasts and storm-prone posts
