Abstract
The invention relates to a method of harvesting overhead wind energy with greater efficiency and being better in terms of manufacturing technology and equipment installation. In particular, the invention relates to a method of harvesting overhead wind energy with an equipment system for indirectly catching wind, the method comprises: catching overhead wind; guiding the caught overhead wind downwards; converting the energy of the caught wind into mechanical work to rotate one or more generators on the ground. The cost of the equipment system for indirectly catching wind is much cheaper than those of the traditional wind electricity pylon.
Claims5
A method of harvesting overhead wind energy with an equipment system for indirectly catching wind, the method comprises:
- catching overhead wind;
- guiding the caught overhead wind downwards;
- converting the energy of the caught wind into mechanical work to rotate one or more generators,
- wherein the equipment system for indirectly catching wind comprises:
- an overhead wind catcher (1) with a flare inlet and a narrow outlet (3) to increase the velocity of the wind caught and guided downwards;
- a tail vane (2) attached to the overhead wind catcher (1) to orientate the latter towards the wind direction;
- a windbreak cover (4);
- a wind duct (10) to guide the caught wind downwards;
- a high efficiency air turbine;
- optionally an air exit chamber (12);
- and
- an operation station (13) on the ground to encompass all parts of the wind engine and other auxiliary structures.
