Multi Directional Augmenter and Diffuser

The augmenter system of claim wherein the set of walls comprises:

• a first set of side wall dump panels hingedly coupled to a first side wall defined by the frame;
• and
• a second set of side wall dump panels hingedly coupled to a second side wall defined by the frame, the first set of side wall dump panels opposing the second set of side wall dump panels,
• the first set of side wall dump panels and the second set of side wall dump panels being configured to rotate relative to the frame about the corresponding hinged coupling to vent wind to outside of the augmenter.

An augmenter system, comprising:

• a wall to capture, and funnel, wind into a wind power plants;
• the wall comprising a shrink wrap panel system with side wall dump panels and top panel lift systems configured to minimize structural stress, the side wall dump panels and top panel lift systems configured to move between a first position and a second position when a pressure differences exist between an inside and outside of the augmenter;
• the top panel lift system comprising a bracket that allows the suspension cable to lift above the next panel to vent wind to an outside of the augmenter;
• the wind power plant comprising:
• a frame structure supported on the ground and comprising a plurality of vertical elongated structural members connected by a plurality of horizontal elongated structural members, the tower structure forming a box-like structure with at least two active sides, and
• a plurality of vertical shafts located coextensively with the active sides of the frame structure, each shaft carrying a plurality of blades adapted to be rotated by the wind,
• each shaft is supported by a plurality of the horizontal structural members coupled to the shaft at spaced locations along the shaft, with one support location proximate the top of each shaft, one support location proximate the bottom of each shaft, and at least one support location intermediate the top and bottom support locations;
• at least one electric generator;
• and
• an output shaft configured to connect each shaft to the at least one generator, to generate electricity from the wind energy.
