Wind Generator Improvement 1 Wind Deflector And Steering
Here is a design I made for the improvement of wind electric generation that anyone can freely use, let me know if you think the idea is useful. nnThere is a slight mistake in the view of two of the (wind-force) collectors drawn in this image; that is they should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise. These are located at the 90 and 180 degree standard angle locations.nnIf you keep thinking about the collectors, obviously the larger the more wind and its corresponding force can be captured for energy transfer to the alternator/generator.nnThe airvane is used for steering/direction of the "wind block" or "wind baffle". As shown in the image, I guess it would have to have a large surface area for increased stability in itself to maintain position to block the wind. Or the "wind block" itself can be angled some way also. Another shape of this windblock would equally direct the force equally up, down, left and right for increased stability. At minimum, left and right would be alright.nnI wonder if the cups/collectors could possibly swivel slightly, perhaps with springs, independently to collect more wind force. This even fancies the use of materials that are flexable such as plastics and cloth for the collectors.nnIf you had a bunch of dixie cups or strofoam cups you can experiment with capturing more wind, and you will +eventually see that a spiral type of form can do that where one of the "cups" is at near flat or at 90 degrees to the wind always, to get the energy.nnSee my next video for an update:nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9GiWXxWoxwnnI've had this idea for a while, a least a year, and have recently (Jan 26, 2008) seen a design of the concept on the YouTube video:nnhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asi6lsM8UWc nnnHere is a link to a website about traditional windmills: http://www.windmillersgazette.com/
