Drag-Based Wind Turbine Device

A drag-based wind turbine device that provides a user with a more efficient wind turbine that captures wind energy more effectively, the drag-based wind turbine device comprising:

• a first wind turbine comprising a first base component with three blades;
• and
• a second wind turbine comprising a second base component with three blades;
• wherein the first wind turbine and the second wind turbine are stacked and coupled together on a main shaft which rotates about a vertical axis;
• wherein the first and the second base components are secured to the main shaft with a pair of blade arms via a pinned connection;
• wherein the three blades of the first base component would rotate in a convex direction, while the three blades of the second base component would rotate in a concave direction;
• wherein each of the three blades of the first and the second base components are arranged in a horizontal and sloping manner;
• wherein a surface of the first wind turbine is convex to ensure wind is always deflected toward the second wind turbine;
• wherein the wind is then received by a concave side of the second wind turbine;
• wherein the first and the second wind turbines are placed in close proximity to each other;
• and
• further wherein drag from the first wind turbine helps propel the second wind turbine.

A method of efficiently manipulating drag-based wind turbines, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing a drag-based wind turbine device comprising a set of turbines;
• stacking the set of turbines on the same axis;
• coupling the set of turbines together, such that drag from the first turbine helps propel the second turbine;
• and
• positioning the surface of the first turbine in a convex position to ensure wind is always deflected toward the second turbine, where it is received by the concave side of the second turbine.
