A wind harvesting assembly for a wind turbine, the wind harvesting assembly comprising:
- a Venturi tube having
- a hollow interior having a first air pressure;
- an open top end having a first diameter;
- an open bottom end having the first diameter;
- a tube length spanning between the open top end and the open bottom end;
- and a constricted section located above the bottom end, the constricted section being adapted to increase a velocity of air passing through the Venturi tube and cause an expulsion of air out of the Venturi tube by having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- a plurality of vertical wind turbine blades arranged around the Venturi tube, wherein each vertical blade of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is associated with a magnet, such that a rotation of the vertical blade causes a rotation of the magnet;
- and wherein each vertical blade of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades has:
- a blade top end;
- a blade bottom end;
- and
- a blade length spanning between the blade top end and the blade bottom end, the length being the same as the tube length, and being aligned with the tube length, such that the blade top end is aligned with the open top end, and the blade bottom end is aligned with the open bottom end;
- wherein the first air pressure within the hollow interior is lower than a second air pressure outside of the wind harvesting assembly, resulting in a pressure differential that causes a suction effect of a first portion of air into the open top end from wind passing over the wind harvesting assembly, such that the first portion of air becomes the air passing through the Venturi tube;
- wherein the rotation of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is caused when a second portion of air is ingested into the wind turbine and forced to become a vortex 20 having a higher speed than the ingested air, the vortex being a spiral air stream traveling towards the open bottom end;
- and
- wherein the open bottom end is adapted to facilitate the expulsion of air out of the Venturi tube.
A wind turbine comprising a wind harvesting assembly and a housing, the wind harvesting assembly being encased in a hollow housing interior of the housing, the housing having:
- a top housing end;
- a base at a bottom housing end, the base having a hollow base interior, a top base end, a bottom base end, and means for a first expulsion of air out of the wind turbine;
- an intake opening spanning between the top housing end and the bottom housing end;
- a Venturi tube having:
- a hollow interior having a first air pressure;
- an open top end having a first diameter, the open top end being located at the top housing end;
- an open bottom end having the first diameter, the open bottom end being located at the top base end;
- a tube length spanning between the open top end and the open bottom end;
- and
- a constricted section located above the bottom end, the constricted section being adapted to increase a velocity of air passing through the Venturi tube cause a second expulsion of air out of the Venturi tube by having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- a plurality of vertical wind turbine blades arranged around the Venturi tube, wherein each vertical blade of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is associated with a magnet, such that a rotation of the vertical blade causes a rotation of the magnet;
- and wherein each vertical blade of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades has:
- a blade top end;
- a blade bottom end;
- and
- a blade length spanning between the blade top end and the blade bottom end, the length being the same as the tube length, and being aligned with the tube length, such that the blade top end is aligned with the open top end, and the blade bottom end is aligned with the open bottom end;
- wherein the first air pressure within the hollow interior is lower than a second air pressure outside of the wind harvesting assembly, resulting in a pressure differential that causes a suction effect of a first portion of air into the open top end from wind passing over the wind harvesting assembly;
- and
- wherein the rotation of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is caused when a second portion of air is ingested into the wind turbine and forced to become a vortex having a higher speed than the ingested air, the vortex being a spiral air stream traveling towards the open bottom end.
A wind harvesting assembly for a wind turbine, the wind harvesting assembly comprising:
- a Venturi tube having:
- a hollow interior having a first air pressure;
- an open top end having a first diameter;
- an open bottom end having the first diameter;
- a tube length spanning between the open top end and the open bottom end;
- and
- a constricted section located above the bottom end, the constricted section adapted to increase a velocity of air passing through the Venturi tube and cause an expulsion of air out of the Venturi tube by having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- and
- a plurality of vertical wind turbine blades arranged around the Venturi tube such that each vertical blade of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is radially disposed between a shell of the wind turbine and the Venturi tube, wherein each vertical blade of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is associated with a magnet, and wherein a rotation of the plurality of vertical wind turbine blades is caused by wind ingested into the wind turbine.
