US 2018/0320656 A1 · Wind Funneling Device for Energy Production

Abstract

A wind funneling device for energy production. The present system includes a wind funneling device for energy production having a housing with side panels, a top panel and a rear panel forming an interior volume with a front opening and a lower opening. A plurality of parallel planar members is disposed within the interior volume of the housing, wherein each of the plurality of parallel planar members extends parallel to the side panels. One or more wind vanes are secured to the housing and configured to direct the front opening to the direction of the wind. An electric generator is connected to the housing. Air flows toward the generator, producing electricity. A battery is operably connected to the generator to store the electricity for future use. Solar panels and a vibration powered generator may provide an additional source of energy production.
