ISOLATED WIND TURBINES

Abstract

The invention is directed to wind turbines operating inside (closed) buildings. These isolated turbines are operated by (naturally) pumping the wind from one side of a building and (mechanically) expelling it from the other side by means of (suction) fans. Alternatively, the turbines can be operated by (mechanically) pumping wind from one side of a building and (mechanically) expelling it from the other side by (suction) pumps that withdraw wind from the building and expel it continually generating a strong air stream in the building having the required velocity for actuating the turbines efficiently. Many adjacent buildings can be constructed, wherein they are connected to each other by tubes that may allow easy transfer of the wind from a building to another. It is only the first building that (naturally or mechanically) receives (natural or mechanical) wind. The last building's fans suck wind and expel it outside generating a strong air stream in all buildings that runs all turbines at the same time and with the same operating capacity.

The invention aims at actuating wind turbines inside (closed) buildings using (natural/mechanical) winds whose velocity can be controlled and the electricity production can be increased. The invention also aims at solving the current problems of wind turbines such as: audiovisual noise, birds killing, the need for speedy and steady wind, and the high cost of building tower to reach the required wind velocity. The present invention provides turbines with the required wind inside closed buildings with the required velocity.

Claims

1- Wind turbines operating within closed buildings used to generate electricity; these turbines are operated and rotated by the energy of (natural wind) present in the fresh air, wherein this wind is contained and withdrawn from the fresh air by pole-raised mounts whose nozzles are at a technically appropriate height above the ground and move automatically via sensors so that they are always facing the winds; wherein the wind enters the mounts and are propelled into the tubing attached to their ends, then the tubing transfers it to the (closed turbine field) building; the wind (naturally) enters from one side of the building and (mechanically) exits from the other though tubing equipped with suction (discharge) fans that draw wind from the building and expel it continuously; thus air velocity is increased and drives the turbines that generate electricity efficiently.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0042] The invention aims to benefit from the energy of mild natural winds, especially where wind turbine fields can be deployed and where it is possible to drive (small or medium) turbines in the open air. These mild winds are drawn and pumped into a closed building. The velocity and strength of these winds actuate turbines with higher capacities compared to the turbines managed by mild wind outside the building. This may redouble the production. The means of implementing the invention are as follows:

[0043] Means of Implementing the First Embodiment as Shown in FIG. 1: [0044] Installing (1) iron mounts raised on strong poles to a suitable outdoors in places (candidated for deploying wind turbine fields) where the wind velocity in such fields are often ranging between (4-8 m/second). Such mounts have large nozzles at the front which gradually become smaller ending with a large iron pipe. The size, dimensions and capacity of the mounts are determined by technical calculations and mathematical equations so that they hold the largest possible amount of winds per second. The mounts' nozzles can be movable and rotatable around an axis and attached to sensors that make the nozzles always face the wind. [0045] Pipes (2) of iron, steel or concrete; each pipe is attached to the cavity end of each mount. This pipe is used to transfer natural winds from the wind mount to the wind turbine building. [0046] The building of the turbine field (3) that is made of iron, concrete, or any other building material. This building is closed and the wind coming from the mounts enters it (naturally) and exits from its other side mechanically. A continuous air stream is formed inside it that drives the turbines fins. It is to be noted that the more mounts the greater the velocity and strength of the wind inside the turbine building. The many mounts will act as natural fans that pump strongly natural air into the turbines building in direct proportion to their number. [0047] Wind turbines (4) are installed inside the closed turbine field building. Their number (at least one turbine) is suitable for wind energy inside the building. They are distributed in the building in specific positions determined by technical calculations and with capacities suitable for wind energy inside the building. The technical distribution should take into account the influence of air pathways inside the building so that the wind is evenly distributed to turbines. [0048] Tubing/openings (5) at the far end of the building allowing the wind that has entered the building to (naturally or mechanically) exit, so a continuous air stream is formed that runs the turbines continuously. [0049] Suction fans (6) are installed inside the exit openings in the pipes (5). They should be technically appropriate using accurate calculations so that the force of drawing the wind pulling from inside the building and discharging it outside the building has a direct relationship to the rate of the wind velocity inside the building. In other words, the wind velocity inside the building is equal to the rate of wind charging outside it, so that the wind velocity inside the building can be controlled by changing the number of suction fans. Technical matters can be precisely considered for implementing the invention.

[0050] The Way the First Embodiment Works, as Shown in FIG. 1:

[0051] The mounts (1) facing the wind receives it from the fresh air. Then, the wind enters the mounts (naturally), and from there it travels through the tubing (2) to the turbine building (3) uninterruptedly. The incoming wind actuates the turbines (4) and exits from the end of the building (mechanically) by means of suction fans (5) that expel the wind out through the tubing (6) continuously.

[0052] As the wind continues to naturally enter and mechanically exit the building, a strong air stream is generated, which drives the turbines and generates electricity.

[0053] Means of Implementing the Second Embodiment as Shown in FIG. 2: [0054] The building of the turbine field (1) that is made of iron, concrete, or any other building material. This building is closed and the wind enters it by means of tubing or openings in one side, wherein the wind is mechanically introduced by propeller fans and mechanically discharged from the other side. A continuous air stream is formed that drives the turbines fins. It is to be noted that the greater the number of mounts the greater the velocity and strength of the wind inside the turbine building. [0055] Large tubing or openings (2). The pipe opening outside the building is large and has a diameter that is accurately calculated. It is installed in one side of the building wherein it is used to introduce the wind into the building at the required velocity and amount. [0056] Propeller fans (3) with high capacities (such as large tunnel fans). They are installed inside wind entry openings/tubes and are used to draw wind from the fresh air and pump it mechanically into the building with high capacities for rapid pumping that is measured in meters per second. [0057] Wind turbines (4) are installed inside the closed turbine field building. Their number is suitable for the wind energy inside the building. They are distributed in the building in specific positions determined by technical calculations and with capacities suitable for the wind energy inside the building. The technical distribution should take into account the influence of air pathways inside the building so that the wind is evenly distributed to turbines. [0058] Tubing/openings (5) at the far end of the building allowing the wind that has mechanically entered the building to exit uninterruptedly, so a continuous air stream is formed that runs the turbines continuously. [0059] Suction fans (6) are installed inside the exit openings in the pipes (5). They should be technically appropriate using accurate calculations so that the force of drawing the wind pulling from inside the building and discharging it has a direct relationship to the rate of the wind velocity inside the building. Technical matters can be precisely considered for implementing the invention.

[0060] The Way the First Embodiment Works, as Shown in FIG. 2: [0061] The fans (3) mechanically pump the wind to the turbine building (1) continuously via the tubing (2). The incoming wind runs the turbines (4) and (mechanically) exits the end of the building by means of suction fans (5) that expel the wind outside through the pipes (6) uninterruptedly. As the wind continues to mechanically enter and exit the closed building, a strong air stream is generated actuating the turbines and generating electricity.

[0062] Means of Improving the Performance of the Two Embodiments as Shown in FIG. 3:

[0063] A successive and unlimited number of closed buildings can be established. Such successive buildings are adjacent and connected to each other by tubing interconnecting each building to the next one. Each building includes a field having an appropriate number of turbines. The wind is (mechanically or naturally) pumped only into the first building and is (mechanically) withdrawn only from the last building, generating a strong and fast air stream (whose strength and velocity can be controlled) in all buildings. The stream it runs all the turbines in every buildings at the same time, with high efficiency and with the same operating capacity.
