Abstract
A wind-powered energy generation system has a venturi with an air inlet adapted to receive a wind stream, an air outlet, a restriction between the air inlet and the air outlet, and a fluid port in fluid communication within the restriction. A fluid line is connected to the fluid port such that a low-pressure force generated within the restriction applies a vacuum force to the fluid line. An energy conversion device converts the vacuum force into motive energy.

A method of generating energy, comprising:
- providing a venturi having an air inlet, an air outlet, a restriction between the air inlet and the air outlet, and a fluid port in fluid communication with the restriction;
- positioning the air inlet in an air stream such that the air stream generates a vacuum force within a fluid line connected to the fluid port;
