Arctura

About

Founded in 2015, Arctura is a private headquartered in South Kingstown, United States with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Wind.

Arctura applies expertise in plasma physics, fluid dynamics, and advanced control systems to solve critical problems in wind energy and industrial chemical production. The company was founded in 2015 by Neal Fine, an MIT-trained mechanical engineer and fluid dynamicist with two decades of research experience. ALP20, their first commercial product, is a specialized topcoat that redirects electrical charge across wind turbine blade surfaces, reducing lightning-induced damage by 73% in independent testing. It is manufactured in partnership with Mankiewicz and deployed at commercial wind farms across North America, Europe, and Asia. eXSeek is an extremum-seeking control algorithm that optimizes wind farm energy output in real time using live SCADA data without physics-based modeling. Arctura is also developing a modular, scalable plasma process to synthesize nitric acid from air, water, and renewable electricity, eliminating fossil fuel dependence and enabling point-of-use production. The company has received support from the U.S. Department of Energy, NSF, and ARPA-E, and was named to TIME's list of America's Top GreenTech Companies in 2024 and 2025.
