Multistage Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
A multistage wind turbine or network of wind turbines with improved and optimized wind-directing, wind-shaping, and wind-power conversion features indicates that the shapes of these features directly affect the ability of the multistage wind turbine to use the power of moving air, such as wind, to spin a rotor and create torque on a rotor shaft to generate electricity. The wind-power-conversion mechanical efficiency described significantly improves upon previous designs by conversion of wind energy into electrical power at a superior price-to-performance ratio compared with existing alternative energy technologies.
Collapsible frictionless vertical axis power generating wind/ocean current turbine
An improved turbine over the old horizontal and vertical axis turbines because of its ability to capture several times the amount of wind. The basic design and process of this new machine can also work in the ocean at capturing ocean currents. Being Omni-directional (not having to turn into the wind) gives it one efficiency over the 3 bladed turbine. Another efficiency all embodiments have is its frictionless exponent. This quality helps save on wear and tear and maintenance cost. Most if not all past turbines have a static presents, being built in one basic wind capturing position. This new turbine is more dynamic because it can hide from wind damage and then open to capture more wind than its predecessors.
Micro-Grid Wind Power Generator
A wind turbine is optimized for low and high speed winds with sensing to measure climate change gases using IoT connectivity with long life serviceability. The wind turbine has an egg-shaped or elliptical profile that performs well in any physical orientation, enabling plural turbines in either horizontal or vertical stacks. A wildlife net is applied to the intake sides of the wind turbine, where the profile secures the net against displacement.
Omnidirectional generator apparatus
It is about an omnidirectional generator apparatus, capable of translating the push of a fluid from any direction in the vertical, horizontal or diagonal plains to rotational movement on a unique axis. This rotational movement can be translated to electric energy by known means.
ROTOR BLADE, ROTOR, AND SYSTEM HAVING ROTOR AND ROTOR BLADE
A rotor blade for a rotor having a vertical rotor shaft provides stream induced driving of the rotor in a direction of driving. The rotor blade includes streaming elements that are arranged successively and at a distance in the direction of driving, wherein each streaming element includes a front edge in the direction of driving and a rear edge in the direction of driving. The rear edge and the front edge are each formed such that, when streamed against by a wind component, it transmits a driving force to the rotor in the direction of driving. Furthermore, a rotor has a rotor blade and a system includes the rotor and an electric machine.
Omni-Directional Shaftless Wind Turbine
A present invention describes unique wind turbine assembly in a shape of closed hollow cylinder formed by two sets of three adjustable to positive and negative pitch horizontal blades supported instead of central shaft by three vertical cylindrical blades, which makes this turbine responsive to omni-directional wind. Proposed design concept provides with: Significant increase of turbine efficiency exceeding 60%, which after coupling this rotor with a generator of 60% efficiency leads to overall wind generator efficiency exceeding 40%. Low turbine inertia requiring moderate start up winds and reducing turbine vibrations. Noiseless turbine operation due to its rotation around vertical axis. Environmental friendliness as low operating speed does not generate strong turbulent air flow capable to challenge birds and bugs existence. No electronic control of blades angle of attack. Ease of manufacturing and maintaining together with their reduced cost.
Conducted analysis of the proposed configuration of the wind turbine shows no necessity of additional top support for a personal use wind generator, while requires one for more powerful (community) wind turbines. Proposed additionally supporting turbine tetrahedron beam frame resolves this issue allowing increase of power of such wind generators.
WIND TURBINE
An example wind turbine is provided that includes a shaft assembly, strut mounts coupled to the shaft assembly, airfoils directly or indirectly coupled to the strut mounts, and a generator assembly connected to the shaft assembly. The shaft assembly defines a central longitudinal axis of the wind turbine. The airfoils are capable of being positioned in a fully extended orientation and a fully retracted orientation. Rotation of the airfoils results in rotation of at least a portion of the shaft assembly to generate electrical current with the generator assembly.
Wind turbine rotating blade
The present invention provides a wind turbine having rotating blades, comprising: a base, a rotation shaft, turbine blades, blade ferrules, an upper flange, a generator and a lower flange. The rotation shaft is arranged on the base. The blade ferrules are installed on the rotation shaft. Blade ferrules are applied to fixate between the rotation shaft and the turbine blades. The rotation shaft is connected to the generator. The upper flange is arranged above the generator and the lower flange is arranged under the generator. The disclosed wind turbine may increase utilization efficiency of wind power and is highly advantageous to startup the generator under breeze condition.
