Title:
OMNIDIRECTIONAL VERTICAL-AXIS TURBINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/017508
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A two-stage, omnidirectional vertical axis wind turbine includes a first chamber in which a plurality of angularly spaced horns guide wind from any side of the wind turbine into a chamber to rotate a first rotor. Wind exiting the first rotor passes through a diverter to produce laminar flow. A fan attached to the shaft intercepts this laminar flow to add additional torque to the shaft.
