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.

A wind turbine for attachment to an upstanding post, the turbine comprising a two-piece mounting bracket; a cylindrical sleeve coupled to the mounting bracket; a turbine blade apparatus rotationally coupled to the sleeve, wherein the axis of the sleeve defines the rotational axis of the turbine blade apparatus, the turbine blade apparatus comprising a lower blade support plate; an upper blade support plate; and two or more turbine blades located between the upper and lower blade supports, wherein a first end of each blade is coupled to the lower blade support and a second end of each blade is coupled to the upper blade support; and an electrical energy generator driven to rotate by the turbine blade apparatus, wherein the electrical energy generator generates electrical energy when the turbine blade apparatus rotates relative to the sleeve.

Systems and method for generating reliable renewable energy using mass airflow generated from subterranean locations, such as the movement of railcars (for example, trains, both passenger and cargo) inside an underground tunnel are provided. Micro mass airflow collection equipment (MACE) units may be strategically placed in the underground tunnels and may be used to generate AC or DC power from the mass airflow created by the movement of the trains. The electricity generated from the MACE units can then be used, for example, for propulsion power to reduce the amount of electricity required to be purchased from other sources, such as the local utility company, thereby reducing costs and demand on power generation from non-renewable sources.

The invention relates to a monitoring module specially designed to be installed in motors of industrial fans, railway fans or tunnel fans, which operates without batteries or wiring, powered by wind energy, and which comprises a wind turbine and at least one sensor designed to measure at least one operational parameter of a driven motor, and to a corresponding system including the module.

A traffic-driven wind generator device is disclosed that captures, harnesses, and redirects wind speed from vehicles on highways to power cylindrical and spherical underground megawatt electrical generators. The traffic-driven wind generator device comprises a body component that is configured as an upright cylinder with paddles on the outside that will catch the wind from vehicles passing by. The body component can be embedded within the infrastructure of tunnels to rotate the wind turbines and generate renewable energy. The device may vary in design while providing users with generated electricity.

A system (1) for harvesting wind energy from passing vehicles (2), storing the energy and using the energy to generate electricity. The thrust of wind from passing vehicles (2) is captured by one or more single separate sail, board or blade (3), to creating reciprocating motion. This is used for actuating one or more pumps (4) so it pumps a fluid upwards bringing the fluid into an upper reservoir (6) generating and storing potential energy. Immediately or at a later time, the fluid can be allowed to flow back to the lower reservoir (5) and the flow can be to drive a turbine or turbines (7) or to generate electrical power. Wind generated by passing cars is stored as potential energy and used, immediately or later, to generate electrical power.
