Horizontal wind powered reaction turbine electrical generator

A horizontal wind powered electrical generator comprising, a horizontal reaction turbine comprising overlapping curved stator blades and downwind reversely curved rotor blades disposed within a turbine cowling, an augmentor cowling surrounding said turbine and extending downwind thereof, first stage curved stator blades interconnecting said augmentor cowling with said turbine cowling;

• said augmentor cowling having a diameter of at least about 2.5 times the diameter of said rotor blades, secondary stator blades spaced downwind from said first stage stator blades and extending inwardly from said augmentor cowling to terminate short of the turbine cowling, said secondary stator blades having a greater angle of departure than said first stage stator blades to increase the rotational velocity of the air passing through the secondary stator blades at the expense of its axial velocity while permitting the air moving inwardly of the secondary stator blades to move with undiminished axial velocity, a venturi-structured diffusor carried by said augmentor cowling in a downwind position to lower the pressure generally and assist the action of the secondary stator blades, and means to pivot the composite structure to keep it facing into the wind.
