Abstract
A structure (1) for channelling and directing incident wind is described. The structure includes a hollow pipe (2) having a downstream end (2a) that defines at least one outlet and an upstream end (2b). A rotatably mounted intake (4) is positioned at the upstream end (2b) of the pipe (2) and is adapted to direct incident wind into the pipe.
Claims23
A structure 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 s 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.
