Abstract
An energy collection system for capturing wind energy being exhausted from an air exhaust system. The energy collection system has a frame and a wind turbine. The wind turbine has a blade configured to rotate about a shaft. Air leaving the air exhaust system in a vertical direction causes the blade to rotate which is then converted by the wind turbine into electricity.
Claims13
An energy collection system for collecting energy in moving air exhausted from an air exhaust system, the energy collection system comprising:
- a frame positioned adjacent to a portion of the air exhaust system;
- and
- a wind turbine coupled to the frame, the wind turbine comprising at least one blade coupled to a rotatable shaft,
- wherein the air exhausted from the air exhaust system is moving in a vertical direction, wherein the vertically moving air causes the at least one blade to rotate, and wherein the wind turbine creates electricity upon rotation of the at least one blade.
