3-Bladed Model

Overview

The concept was developed after conceiving of how a jellyfish propells itself through the water. Its evolution has selected the most efficient design for effortless propogation from top to bottom. The invertebrate must achieve efficiency on the upstroke and it must keep from sinking back down on the return stroke.

It is the same with the this turbine - it gets lift when the wind is at an approaching angle and assisting drag when the wind is behind. This has increased the efficiency of our previous model while reducing weight and manufacturing cost. The benefit to wind turbine users is obvious.

Power Generator Description

The VAWT converts wind energy to electrical energy. The wind pressure (associated with wind speed) on the cage blades cause the cage structure to rotate. The magnetic field movement across wire-coils produces current flow and an associated voltage.

The typical wind-speed to power conversion is shown in the subsequent graph. Note: wind pressure varies with atmospheric pressure, altitude, and air particulate composition.

5-KW Model

Overview

The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) converts wind energy to electrical power. The VAWT is an omni-directional low wind-speed generator that may be easily installed practically anywhere with good wind exposure. The VAWT is seen as a solid object as the rotational speed increases, making it visible to birds. The VAWT has a 3-phase A.C electrical power connection and 3-phase rectifier. The system includes a 80 Amp Load Diversion Controller.
