Abstract
Implementations of a system and method for high-velocity ground transportation mobile wind power generation are provided. In some implementations, the system comprises a pathway system, a large-scale high-velocity ground transporter, a plurality of on-board turbine-generators, and a plurality of off-board turbine-generators. In some implementations, the method comprises providing the system and generating electricity on-board and off-board the transporter with the system.
Claims15
A system for high-velocity ground transportation mobile wind power generation, wherein the system generates and utilizes general zero-carbon renewable energy, the system comprising:
- a pathway system comprising one or more pathways wherein each pathway comprises parallel tracks configured to support and guide the transporter;
- a transporter configured to travel on a pathway wherein the transporter comprising one or more steam turbines configured to power the transporter to travel on a pathway;
- one or more on-board turbine-generators configured to generate electricity on-board the transporter, wherein each on-board turbine-generator:
- is installed on-board the transporter;
- comprises an on-board turbine operatively connected to an on-board generator;
- and
- is configured to generate electricity from an opposing wind force that spins the on-board turbine which resultantly rotates the on-board generator which resultantly generates electricity, wherein the opposing wind force results from the transporter traveling along the pathway of the pathway system;
- and
- a plurality of off-board turbine-generators along the pathway system configured to generate electricity off-board the transporter, wherein:
- the off-board turbine-generators are installed along the pathway of the pathway system wherein the off-board turbine-generators are spaced apart along the pathway and at least partially submerged underground at a depth that allows the transporter to pass over the off-board turbine-generators when traveling along the pathway;
- each of the off-board turbine-generators comprises an off-board turbine operatively connected to an off-board generator and configured to generate electricity from an opposing wind flow velocity that spins the off-board turbine which resultantly rotates the off-board generator which resultantly generates electricity, wherein the opposing wind flow velocity travels under the transporter resulting from the transporter traveling along the pathway of the pathway system and over the off-board turbine-generator.
