Abstract
A new and useful concept for utilizing an air flow in connection with a primary function, to produce electricity, to provide a clean alternative source of electrical energy, is provided. The electrical energy is produced in connection with a primary air flow in a facility, and preferably used and/or in the facility from which it is generated.
Claims18
A method of generating electricity, comprising
- a. providing a primary system in which a flow of air is produced in connection with a primary function,
- b. locating a fluid driven turbine in the path of the flow of air to rotate the turbine from the flow of air in the primary system, and generating electricity from the rotation of the turbine.
A system comprising a facility from or in which an air flow is produced, the facility including
- a. one or more electrically driven devices, one or more electrical storage devices, or combinations of the foregoing,
- b. at least one turbine located in the path of the air flow and oriented so that the air flow rotates the turbine,
- c. the rotation of the turbine being effective to generate electricity, and
- d. the generated electricity being (i) used to power at least one of the electrically powered devices of the facility, (ii) directed to at least one of the electrical energy storage devices of the facility, or (iii) both used to power at least one of the electrically powered devices and directed to at least one of the electrical energy storage devices.
