Claims18
A structure for channelling and directing incident wind comprising:
- a hollow pipe having a downstream end that defines at least one outlet, and an upstream end;
- and
- a rotatably mounted intake at the upstream end of the pipe adapted to direct incident wind into the pipe;
- wherein the intake includes an opening through which incident wind enters the intake;
- wherein the intake further comprises a louvre assembly positioned in front of the opening, wherein the louvre assembly comprises:
- a plurality of individual slats that are pivotally mounted and can be pivoted between a fully open position and a closed position, and
- an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle of the slats and which includes a pivotally mounted wind resistance plate whose angle varies with wind speed.
