A construction (1) defining a volume submerged in an air-stream (10), with at least one surface (6) against which the air current impinges, directing, acceleration and laminating an air-flow against the lateral (6) of the construction (6) having at least one wind-mill generator (2) attached to said lateral (6) in an area where there is still no separation of said laminar air-flow (11) form the construction (1). Faced with said generator (2), is arranged at least one plate (9), the wind generator (2) being positioned between said plate (9) and said portion of the lateral wall, determining a tunnel (14) with an air inlet and outlet of the air-stream impinging on the blades of the wind-mill generator (2). The inlet of the air-stream into said tunnel (14) directed towards the blades of the wind-mill generator is placed adjacent the largest section of the perimeter of said construction (1), perpendicular to the direction of incidence of the wind-stream.

A wind turbine panel is configured to distribute electricity to a load. The wind turbine panel includes a frame further includes a first slot having a first slot first end and a first slot second end. A first alternator is located in a first panel mount on the first slot first end. A second alternator is located in a second panel mount on the first slot second end. A first alternator shaft, connects the first alternator and the second alternator. A wind turbine is connected to the first alternator shaft. The load is electrically coupled to the first alternator and the second alternator. Wind traveling through the frame rotates the wind turbine and thus turns the alternator shafts that generates the electricity which is transferred to the load for use in downstream applications.

Large wind inlet ducts connected to one or more ducted turbines are used for conversion of wind energy into electricity. A main building structure into which are located the large inlet ducts and the turbines is supplemented by a plurality of large scale channel walls radiating outward for defining a plurality of canyon structures for accelerating wind towards the main building structure.

The invention utilizes a ski lift for wind power generation outside of the ski season. The carriers on the ski lift are replaced by wind catching structures that pull the haul rope either uphill or downhill, depending on the prevailing wind. The haul rope rotates the electrical drive motor of the ski lift, causing it to generate electrical energy.

Repurpose decommissioned elevated highways, decommissioned elevated railways, decommissioned bridges, viaducts, and causeways and or new construction of elevated spans by making provision for providing energy from non-fossil fuel sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal and/or hydrothermal, to provide the energy needs of habitable structures and facilities built upon such decommissioned elevated bridges, elevated railways or bridges. Such is done to provide energy independence for such spans that are to be free of fossil-fuel motor vehicle traffic (or trains).

Multi-functional barrier walls equipped with solar panels, Structural Solar Panels (SSPs) and/or wind turbines along liner boundaries, farmlands, fire zones, highways, railroads, liner terrains or linearly configured spaces to produce electricity from solar and wind energy. The barrier walls may be used as boundary walls, security barriers, sound attenuating barriers, fire barriers, wind barriers or dust barriers. A method of financing the said barrier walls by the electricity produced by the said solar panels, said Structural Solar Panels (SSPs) and/or wind turbines.

An example system for harvesting energy from air vehicle thrust operations includes a runway surface for air vehicle takeoff and landing, where the runway surface comprises a door, and where the door is openable to a cavity positioned below the runway surface. A plurality of wind turbine blades is positioned within the cavity, and the plurality of wind turbine blades are rotatable by air flowing into the cavity. The system also includes a generator coupled to the plurality of wind turbine blades such that the generator produces electricity in response to the rotation of the plurality of wind turbine blades.

A power generating wall design, which may include a plurality of turbines, such as wind turbines, arranged in a wall pattern and arranged to have an entrance flow on one side of the wall and an exit flow on another side of the wall. One exemplary embodiment of a power generating wall may incorporate wind turbines, and may be used in a high-wind environment, such as a highway. In another exemplary embodiment, a power generating wall may incorporate other types of turbines, such as water-driven turbines, and may be constructed in a location that is wholly or partially underwater, such as a river or tidal basin.
