Self-Regulating Wind Amplifier and Brake System

摘要

The disclosed self-regulating wind amplifier and brake system utilizes self-adjustable louvers, forcing wind into the capture blades of a wind turbine. These louvers direct and compress incoming wind current increasing the wind speed internally before impacting the capture blades of the turbine increasing the produced torque to the generator shaft at lower wind speeds. The louvers redirect the wind current that would normally impact the shed side of the turbine and create drag reducing the turbine rpm and torque. As wind speeds reach a level that begin to exceed the capacity of the generator the wind itself will actuate the system that begins to close the louvers more and more as the wind speed increases intern constantly regulating the wind current allowed to enter into the system maintaining the optimal wind speed internally that impacts the turbine. During high winds that exceed the capacity of the regulating system the louvers will close completely shutting off all wind to the turbine and redirecting it around and past the outside of the self-regulating wind amplifier and brake system. A modular system with multiple turbines inline and stack is also disclosed. Finally, a self-regulating wind amplifier and brake system that is automatically controlled with sensors and actuator independent of or in conjunction with the self-regulating mechanism.

1. A method of controlling and regulating the amount of wind that will interface with a turbine real time at varying winds speeds to increase convertible wind force at low winds speeds and maintain optimal turbine rpms at wind speeds normally above the safe capacity of the turbine generator and typically not converted into energy, and preventing damage to a wind turbine comprising the step of
providing a vertical wind turbine; providing plurality of control blades pivotally mounted around the entire circumference of the vertical turbine; connecting the control blades that regulates the open area as wind speeds to a control arm that increase and closes automatically when the wind speed reaches as chosen speed and rapidly reopens when the wind speed drops below chosen closure speed to the relative wind speed at the given moment constantly reacting and adjusting during wind gusts or sustained wind speeds.
