CIRCULAR MODULAR EXPANDABLE IN VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL

WIND TURBINE

The Area with which the Invention is related:

The invention is related to a Circular modular expandable in vertical and horizontal wind turbine, which generates electricity energy using all types of air currents and which rotates parallel to the ground when in the vertical and horizontal position.

The Known Status of the Technique:

There are devices which generate electricity from wind energy, using various methods. The most well--known of these are the turbines which are mounted on tall poles, in the manner of a wind rose. In today’s world there are turbines which generate electricity of up to 5 MW, in different countries.

The Technical Problems which the Invention aims to Solve:

An efficient small-scale product, of up to 5000 kW has especially not been invented. The ones that do exist are extremely inefficient and have high production costs.

The turbine section of our invention, which rotates in a circular manner, parallel to the ground, provides the innovations and advantages set out below:

1. The ability to generate electricity, even in very low speed winds;;

2. The ability to continue to generate electricity even in very high winds;

3. The possibility to install them in very different areas;

4. The capability of expanding and reducing it according to the desired capacity;

5. The fact that there is no requirement for it to remain fixed in the area it has been

placed and that it is portable, due to its light weight and ability to operate without being dependent on the environment;

6. The ability to obtain high torque power using wind currents from every direction and air pressure;

7. The ability to use shafts or different connection points in order to transmit the energy which has been obtained to the alternator;

8. The ability to produce water from the air currents which form.

There is a need for high torque power and rotative speeds in order to be able to generate electricity from the existing alternators. This deficiency results in electricity being obtained at high generation costs. We can summarise the most important features provided by our invention is that it is able to generate electricity energy at high levels of productivity, at very low torque power and rotative speed, that it is able to be installed on the

ground, platforms, vehicles or fixed poles and the capability to connect one or more alternators to one turbine, thereby providing the capability to generate higher amounts of energy.

Description of the Invention:

The invention is related to a circular wind turbine, which generates electricity energy using all types of air currents and which rotates parallel to the ground when in the vertical or horizontal position.

With this device, it will be possible to use very low or high winds or various different air currents to generate electricity at different capacities. In addition to this, the air currents which form will be put through the cooling pores, giving the possibility of producing water from the air.

There is an urgent need for devices which will provide maximum productivity at smaller volumes. In particular, devices which generate electricity energy between 1 kW and 500 kW will have wide areas of use.

Different models and capacities can be obtained within the scope of our Circular wind turbine invention. For example:

1. All models possess the feature of being able to be connected to an alternator (20], through a shaft (11], or directly through the arms connecting to the wing chambers (18, 19] or the gears on the wing chambers (21] (Figures 5 and 9]

2. They can be mounted on any ground platform or pole.

3. All of the models can be produced as single units (Figures 4, 5 and 6] and they can also be mounted on top of each other in the form of a logo (Figures 4 and 8], thus giving the ability to increase capacity as much as desired.

4. The wings, chambers, shafts and other various parts to be used in all of the models can be manufactured from wood, metal, carbon, plastic, glass, fibreglass, petrol derivative raw materials with fibre added, etc..

The basic structure of the wings to be used in Circular wind Turbines:

The wings are comprised of the inner plates (3, 4, 5, 6], which can be placed between the rear outer plate (2] and the front plate (7], in the shape of a semi-circle or an L. The numbers of these plates can be increased to change the wing diameters and sizes. These plates can be mounted on top of each other with the upper fixing plate (1] and lower fixing plate (10], or mounted directly on to the chambers (18, 19] or added on to each other using the arms created between the wings. In order to prevent the area between the plates and the complete plate from stretching as well as the vibrations, support panels (8, 9] can be placed in the central sections of the wings.

The plates can be produced either as flat or curved, obtaining different types of wings, such as the Flat wing Type (15a] or Curved Wing Type (15b] (Figures 1 and 2]

The turbines, which are obtained when the wings are joined together, can be connected to a shaft or directly to the alternator. Wing fixers (13, 13a, 14, 14a, 14b] can be placed on the shafts (11] used on the wings and as a result of the wings (15a and 15b] also being affixed to these, a small Circular wind turbine (17] is obtained (Figures 3, 4 and 5] These turbines can be mounted as a single turbine or on top of each other through the chassis arms and chambers (16] which are to be fitted (Figure 4] Depending on the manner in which the turbine is connected to the alternator, and on other requirements, the shaft and wings can also be joined together via a bearing (12]

The diameter and height of the wings can be increased according to the production and energy capacity to be obtained. The diameters of the chambers (18, 19] can be determined according to the desired capacity, thus obtaining the wings (15a or 15b] which are to be affixed to these and the flat (15a— a] or curved (15b-b] large Circular wind turbines (Figures 6 and 7). These turbines can be placed on top of each other in order to increase capacity (Figure 8).

The alternators connect to the turbines in different manners and the power which is obtained is converted into electricity energy. While for this purpose it is also possible to connect to the alternator (20] directly through a shaft (11] to be placed in the centre of the turbines (Figures 4, 5 and 6], in the turbine chambers we have developed (18, 19], the alternator (20] has been connected to the turbine through alternator connection gears (21] placed on the turbine chambers (Figures 5 and 9]

Joining the turbines which have been made with the alternators and other parts and transforming them into finished products is possible with the developed completed product chassis and hood (28] structures (Figures 10, 11 and 13]. These completed product chassis and hood structures (28] are comprised of the chambers (18a, 19b, 23, 26], vertical arms (22, 22a, 24], alternator placement receptacles (25] and the outer hood (27] which is used to cover these, and the speed brake engine (33], which stabilises the turbine rotation speed in the event of excessive wind (Figures 10, 11 and 13].

Due to current direction systems (Figure 14], which are basically created by the operating turbine using air currents, the possibility to obtain utility water by converting the humidity in the air into water, has been provided. The air currents, which form on the axis of the turbine, are directed to the surface where the cooling pores (35] and fans (34], which have been placed in the lower section of the turbine or in a different position. The vapour inside the air currents passing through the cooling pores (3] is converted into water and accumulated in the water collection tank (36], below (Figure 14].

The Manner in which the Invention can be Applied to Industry:

The Circular Wind Turbine, which can be made from all types of materials, provides the possibility of generating electricity energy by using the power of the air currents. It is able to be produced in a modular manner, with different capacities and in different sizes. It is clear that it will have a wide area of use in industry.
