Amplified wind turbine apparatus

Wind powered turbine apparatus having amplified wind effects comprising:

• a housing;
• a wind turbine rotatably carried in said housing having a plurality of turbine blades;
• a first air inlet carried by said housing through which a first ambient air flow is admitted for conveyance to said wind turbine;
• an air pre-rotation chamber carried by said housing and disposed in series air flow between said air flow inlet and said wind turbine;
• a plurality of pivotable curved vertical vane elements carried about pivots circumferentially spaced about said air pre-rotation chamber, said vanes being selectively opened and closed to define an air pipe within said chamber through which said air flows, said vane elements being opened on a side fronting the prevaling ambient winds and closed on an opposing back side thereof forming a curved wall of said air pipe, said open vertical vanes imparting a rotational motion to said air flow prior to reaching said turbine;
• a plurality of upwardly curved horizontal vane elements carried adjacent said vertical vane elements of said air pre-rotation chamber imparting an upward motion to said air flow;
• said horizontal vanes being spaced vertically along the height of said vertical vanes;
• a core element centrally disposed in said air chamber immediately below said wind turbine extending generally the height of said vertical vanes defining a space between said core element and said air pipe wall within said air pre-rotation chamber, said air vanes rotating said air around and about said core imparting centrifugal force to said air flow creating a low pressure profile adjacent said core and a high pressure profile adjacent said wall of said air pre-rotation chamber;
• said turbine blade having tips being disposed generally above said space defined in said air pre-rotation chamber, the wind forces of said high pressure profile being applied to said tips of said turbine blades at the outlet of said air pipe for more efficient utilization of said wind;
• a second air rotation chamber carried by said housing adjacent the opposite side of said wind turbine;
• a second air inlet carried by said housing for admitting a second ambient air flow to said second air rotation chamber;
• said second air rotation chamber including a second plurality of pivotable vertical vane members having pivots circumferentially spaced around said second air rotation chamber and being selectively opened for imparting rotation to said second air flow creating a low pressure profile in said second air rotation chamber accelerating air flow across said wind turbine;
• and
• draft anti-interference means carried by said housing downstream of said air rotation chamber adjacent an outlet of said wind turbine for releasing interference between air leaving the turbine and outside ambient wind flow across said outlet.
