Abstract
An aerodynamic form mounted at the interface between a building's wall and roof having an aerodynamic form that intercepts oncoming wind and directs it over the edge of the roof as laminar flow directed toward a wind turbine mounted on or proximal to the roof. This directed airflow channeled toward the rotors of the one or more wind turbines increases power generation while reducing noise from turbulent flow.
Claims6
An apparatus for improving the efficiency of a building-mounted wind turbine comprising:
- providing a building having at least one wall and a roof, wherein an interface is formed at the juncture of the wall and roof;
- and
- at least one wind turbine mounted on the roof;
- and
- a first aerodynamic form mounted at the interface, the first aerodynamic form having a cross-section of an airfoil configured to intercept an oncoming wind and direct the wind as a substantially laminar flow toward the at least one wind turbine.
