Abstract
The present invention is a new and novel wind generator system particularly suitable for both small and big wind applications that harnesses low velocity wind effectively. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the wind generator system comprises a drive shaft; a plurality of blades attached to the drive shaft and extending radially outwardly therefrom; a generator assembly coupled to the drive shaft and effective for generating electrical power; and a housing having an inner chamber for receiving the plurality of blades and a wind directional apparatus coupled to a wind shield for reducing aerodynamic resistance on said blades.
Claims26
A wind generator system comprising:
- a rotor mounted to a drive shaft;
- one or more blades attached to said rotor and extending radially outwardly from said rotor;
- a generator assembly coupled to said drive shaft and effective for generating electrical power;
- and
- a stationary housing having a frame comprising an upper frame disk and a lower frame disk forming an inner chamber for receiving said rotor and said more than one rotating blades, wherein at least one blade is a retreating blade and at least one blade is an advancing blade;
- a freely rotating wind directional apparatus that operates to detect the direction of the wind and is mechanically coupled to a wind shield rotatably attached to said frame such that it rotates with respect to said upper frame disk and said lower frame disk in response to the direction of the wind and operates to provide a barrier to block wind from providing resistance to blade rotation.
A wind generator system comprising:
- at least two rotors mounted to a drive shaft;
- each rotor having a plurality of blades attached thereto and extending radially outwardly from said rotor;
- a generator assembly coupled to said drive shaft and effective for generating electrical power;
- and
- a stationary housing having a frame comprising an upper frame disk and a lower frame disk forming an inner chamber for receiving each said rotor and said plurality of blades and a freely rotating wind directional apparatus that operates to detect the direction of wind and is mechanically coupled to a wind shield rotatably attached to said frame such that it rotates with respect to said upper frame disk and said lower frame disk in response to the direction of the wind and blocks wind from advancing blades.
