Multistory power generation system
Systems and methods for power generation comprising a tier and line up arrangement installing of the pioneer device, as such side by side line up merged multistory wind mill row of tower. Thus, the height and length of the multistory row windmill tower may be desirable or depend on capacity of project, while width of rotor of each floor may be stand between 10 to 40 feet are suitable or depend on capacity of project, and height of each floor/rotor 10 to 40 feet are suitable or depend on capacity of project. When the forward or backward wind blows the opened rotor of the each floor, the rotors turn in to circular motion, thus energy of the wind transfer in to drive generator via main shaft, to generate grid quality electricity.
Concentric Wing Turbines
A harnessing module for harnessing renewable wind and water energy comprises opposing concentric wings for rotation about a shaft having a hub comprising at least one pair of opposing concentric wings for use in generating renewable electrical energy. Each concentric wing of the opposing concentric wings may have a circular leading edge for facing one of air and water flow, each concentric wing having a generally curved upper surface but for a curved downward surface and a sharp trailing edge opposite the circular leading edge of each concentric wing. The circular side and curved upper surface are preferably at a positive angle of attack where one of water or wind flow is received at the circular side and provides lifting rotation of the opposing concentric wings. Hence, the opposing concentric wings rotate about the turbine shaft and comprise a harnessing module for generating electricity from either the wind or water flow.
Expandable Power Marine Hydrokinetic Turbines, Pumps, Compressors and Transmissions
A marine hydrokinetic electric power or wind power generator comprises a harnessing module, a controlling module, and a generating module, the harnessing module comprising one of a propeller and a waterwheel for receiving wind or water energy, the controlling module further comprising a magnetic gearbox for matching the expected wind or water generating power to an output power, a control motor, and a Hummingbird comprising first and second Transgears and simplifications and variations thereof has three variables, input, output and control and connects the three modules. The assembly of harnessing module, controlling module and the generating module comprises an input shaft from the harnessing module and a constant speed control motor which may be an alternating current or direct current control input and a generator for generating power output and works like a rotary frequency converter: the rotational speed (rpm) of the control input dictates the frequency to be generated. The generating module (generator) generates output power which comprises a multiple of at least ten times the power rating of the controlling module (the constant speed control motor). Principles of application of a Hummingbird comprising first and second Transgears in conjunction with those of a rotary frequency converter, and simplifications thereof, may be extended to infinitely variable transmissions for gasoline and electric vehicles and to pumps and compressors.
RIVER AND TIDAL TURBINE WITH POWER CONTROL
A river or tidal turbine for generating a minimum predetermined value of electricity from river current received at a harnessing module comprises a harnessing module, a control module and a generating module. Han's principle is that harnessed power from a river or tidal turbine must exceed a predetermined value of control power used by the turbine. Minimum power is lost in a three variable closed mechanical control system. The three variable closed mechanical system comprises a Hummingbird control assembly of first and second spur/helical gear assemblies which may be preferably mechanically simplified. The Hummingbird control, a control motor and a generator among other components may be mounted on a floating platform for delivery of constant power at constant frequency given sufficient input from a waterwheel harnessing module driven by river current flow in at least one direction. A tidal embodiment may comprise a moveable hatch for permitting the waterwheel to turn in foe same rotational direction regardless of direction of water current flow.
Wind Funneling Device for Energy Production
A wind funneling device for energy production. The present system includes a wind funneling device for energy production having a housing with side panels, a top panel and a rear panel forming an interior volume with a front opening and a lower opening. A plurality of parallel planar members is disposed within the interior volume of the housing, wherein each of the plurality of parallel planar members extends parallel to the side panels. One or more wind vanes are secured to the housing and configured to direct the front opening to the direction of the wind. An electric generator is connected to the housing. Air flows toward the generator, producing electricity. A battery is operably connected to the generator to store the electricity for future use. Solar panels and a vibration powered generator may provide an additional source of energy production.
Flow optimiser
A roof 201 has an apex 200. A wind turbine 202 is positioned above the apex 200. Air flows through the gap 204 between the apex 200 and the turbine 202. A flow optimizer 203 diverts a section of airflow close to the apex 200 into the region 205, downstream of the apex. This section of diverted airflow is turned away from the local airflow direction towards the surface of the roof 201, downstream of the apex. This reduces the boundary layer separation and turbulence downstream of the apex 200, which reduces energy loss associated with sub-optimal static pressure recovery downstream of the apex 200, and thus increases the discharge coefficient of the system.
MULTI-VECTOR WIND TURBINE
A wind turbine system includes a frame including a first arm and a second arm. The wind turbine system includes a wind turbine coupled between the first arm and the second arm. The wind turbine includes a shaft and a plurality of blades coupled to the shaft. The plurality of blades interact with a wind to rotate the shaft. The wind turbine also includes a wind direction device. The wind direction device is configured to block the wind from interacting with one or more of the plurality of blades moving in a movement direction counter to a wind direction of the wind. The wind turbine system includes at least one generator coupled to the wind turbine, wherein the generator is configured to convert mechanical energy of the wind turbine to electrical energy.
ENHANCED VERTICLE-AXIS WIND TURBINE
A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), such as a Savonius-type VAWT, having one or more stages of curved blades rigidly mounted to a vertical axle and a structure rotatably mounted to the vertical axle. The structure has a deflector plate and a tail plate that orients the structure with respect to the blade-axle assembly such that the deflector plate is positioned upwind to deflect at least some of the wind away from the convex back faces of the curved blades, thereby increasing the force difference of the wind on the blades' concave front faces and convex back faces and therefore increasing the rotational force applied by the blades to the vertical axle. When connected to an electricity generator, the VAWT can generate electricity at a greater rate than analogous conventional VAWTs.
Wind Turbine
A wind turbine including a body, a blade set, a guiding module, a door set, and a fluid recovering element is provided. The body has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein the fluid inlet includes a guiding area and a first opening area. The fluid outlet also includes a fluid recovering area and a second opening area. The blade set is pivoted in the body along a pivoting direction. The guiding module is disposed in the guiding area, and the door set is moveably disposed in the fluid inlet. The fluid recovering element is disposed in the fluid recovering area. The fluid recovering element covers a portion of the fluid outlet for guiding the working fluid to pass through the blade set and flow back into the body.
Increasing any vertical axis wind turbines efficiency
An effective method to increase the efficiency of any vertical axis wind turbines attached to any stationary objects to generate electricity, Is to attach a reactive-shield system to the turbine. The reactive-shield system is any shield system that can change and align itself with the direction of the wind in real time. The system needs to be stable enough to always make the shield stay in front of the turbine once it is aligned with the wind. The shield shields most of the turbine front from the wind except the blade open facing the wind direction allowing it to experience the full force of the wind which increases the turbine efficiency, while shielding the blade spinning against the wind to experience no wind which reduces drag.
