Abstract
A wind powered turbine is disclosed that comprises two concentric cylinders. The first cylinder is located within the perimeter of the second cylinder. Both the first cylinder and the second cylinder comprise a plurality of blades. The first cylinder and its blades move in response to wind activity. The second cylinder and its blades do not move when the first cylinder and its blades are moving. The curvature of the blades of the first cylinder and the curvature of the blades of the second cylinder are in different directions with respect to each other.
Claims16
A turbine comprising:
- a center hub forming a central axis;
- a first cylinder operably connected to the center hub and adapted to rotate about the center hub, wherein the first cylinder comprises a first plurality of blades wherein each of the first plurality of blades extends from a top of the first cylinder to a bottom of the first cylinder, wherein the first cylinder comprises a plurality of first support rings;
- a second cylinder surrounding the first cylinder, wherein the second cylinder comprises a second plurality of blades wherein each of the second plurality of blades extends from a top of the second cylinder to the bottom of the second cylinder;
- wherein each of the first plurality of blades have a curvature that is in a direction different from curvature of the second plurality of blades;
- and
- wherein the second cylinder has at least three second support rings and each of the second support rings have rectangular shaped projections spaced around a perimeter of the second support ring with notches formed between each rectangular shaped projection, wherein each of the second blades are located within a notch of the second support ring with one blade per notch.
A wind-powered turbine comprising:
- a first cylinder surrounding a central hub forming an axis, the first cylinder adapted to rotate, wherein the first cylinder comprises a first plurality of blades wherein each of the first plurality of blades is vertically oriented and adapted to move via wind activity, wherein the first cylinder comprises a plurality of first support rings;
- a second cylinder surrounding the first cylinder, wherein the second cylinder comprises a second plurality of blades wherein each of the second plurality of blades is vertically oriented and adapted to not move via wind activity;
- wherein each of the first plurality of blades have a curvature that is in a direction different from curvature of the second plurality of blades;
- and
- wherein the second cylinder has at least three second support rings and each of the second support rings have rectangular shaped projections spaced around a perimeter of the second support ring with notches formed between each rectangular shaped projection, wherein each of the second blades are located within a notch of the second support ring with one blade per notch.
