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.
Claims20
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 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 at least one of the first plurality of blades has a curvature that is in a direction different from curvature of at least one of the second plurality of blades;
- and
- wherein the second cylinder has a plurality of second support rings and each of the plurality of second support rings has projections spaced around a perimeter of each of the plurality of second support rings with notches formed between the projections, wherein at least one of the second plurality of blades is located within at least one notch of the notches formed between the projections.
A wind-powered turbine comprising:
- a first cylinder surrounding a central hub, the first cylinder adapted to rotate, wherein the first cylinder comprises a first plurality of blades wherein at least one of the first plurality of blades is adapted to move via wind activity, wherein the first cylinder comprises a plurality of first support rings;
- a second cylinder surrounding the first cylinder comprising a second plurality of blades wherein at least one of the second plurality of blades is adapted to not move via wind activity;
- wherein at least one of the first plurality of blades has a curvature that is in a direction different from curvature of at least one of the second plurality of blades;
- and
- wherein the second cylinder has a plurality of second support rings and each of the plurality of second support rings has projections spaced around a perimeter of each of the plurality of second support rings with notches formed between the projections, wherein at least one of the second plurality of blades is located within at least one notch of the notches formed between the projections.
