A wind power system, comprising:
- a turbine that comprises multiple curved blades that rotate about a vertical axis;
- wind collectors that surround the turbine;
- wherein each wind collector comprises a set of facets that define an outlet and an opening that is bigger than the outlet;
- wherein the outlet faces the turbine;
- and
- a venting mechanism that is configured to selectively allow some of the wind that passes through a wind collector to exit from the wind collector via the venting mechanism and not through the outlet;
- wherein the wind collectors comprise a first wind collector and a second wind collector that are adjacent to each other;
- wherein a first opening is formed in the first wind collector and a second opening is formed in the second wind collector;
- wherein the first opening faces the second wind collector and the second opening faces the first wind collector;
- wherein the venting mechanism comprises a first blocker for selectively blocking the first opening, and a second blocker for selectively blocking the second opening;
- wherein the first blocker is arranged to move towards the second wind collector within a gap formed between the first and second wind collectors;
- and
- wherein the second blocker is arranged to move towards the first wind collector within the gap.
