"Systems and methods for power generation of the 'Wind power conversion device' "

Back ground of the invention

The sun heats our atmosphere unevenly, so some patches become warmer than other, these warm patches of air rise, other cold air replace them and we feel a wind current. The wind power is a one of the good source of clean and renewable energy, we can say, it's easily available on earth, worldwide free from nature, thus this wind power conversion electricity is very cheap, easy and low cost in install and to generate than any other electric project like thermal, gas, nuclear and hydro.

Wind energy is alternate renewable source that is becoming more notable. In present days horizontal turbine with three blades and generator mounted on tower. However those wind energy conversion system is not attractive. That they are low efficiency, high capital costs, and high maintenance costs. Energy is raising problem of developing world, so there is requirement to develop a simple, easier and economical system which can produce good electricity with minimum maintenance.

For the reason state above which will became contrived to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is need art for Systems and methods for power generation of the 'Wind power conversion device'.
