Split collar mountable wind turbine

摘要

A split collar mountable turbine is assembled in two separate halves and circumferentially attachable around existing structures. Top and bottom attachment rings each comprise first and second arcuate elements adapted to interconnect circumferentially about an axis to form two rings formed in spaced relation. A fan blade housing ring adapted to interface into complimentary slots within the top and bottom rings is received in complimentary slots and moves in tracks located in the top and bottom rings by magnetic levitation. The turbine further includes two pair of off-axis electrical generators each having rotating gears driven by rotation of said fan blade housing for producing electricity. A series of set screws and set guides affixed to the top and bottom rings can be adjusted to engage and be supported by a structure that is collared in the open center of the cylindrical wind turbine.

主权项

1. A wind turbine comprising:
a first ring comprising first and second arcuate elements, said first and second arcuate elements adapted to interconnect about an axis to form a first interconnected ring wherein said first interconnected ring incorporates a groove interface; a second ring comprising first and second arcuate elements, said first and second arcuate elements adapted to interconnect about an axis to form a second interconnected ring wherein said second interconnected ring incorporates a groove interface; a cylindrical fan blade housing comprising:
a first fan blade ring having first and second arcuate elements, said first and second arcuate elements adapted to interconnect to form said first fan blade ring, said ring having an interior gear interface;a second fan blade ring having first and second arcuate elements, said first and second arcuate elements adapted to interconnect to form said second fan blade ring, said ring having an interior gear interface;at least one first side fan blade pivotally coupled to the first arcuate element of said first fan blade ring and the first arcuate element of said second fan blade ring, the at least one first side fan blade being selectively pivotable between first and second positions, a wind force acting on the at least one first side fan blade increasing as the at least one first side fan blade pivots from the first position toward the second position; andat least one second side fan blade pivotally coupled to the second arcuate element of said first fan blade ring and the second arcuate element of said second fan blade ring, the at least one second side fan blade being selectively pivotable between first and second positions, a wind force acting on the at least one second side fan blade increasing as the at least one second side fan blade pivots from the first position toward the second position;wherein said first fan blade ring of said fan blade housing is adapted to be received within the groove interface of said first interconnected ring;wherein said second fan blade ring of said fan blade housing is adapted to be received within the groove interface of said second interconnected ring; at least one off-axis electrical generator having at least one rotating gear where said rotating gear is engaged and driven by at least one of said interior gear interfaces of said fan blade housing when said fan blade housing rotates about an axis within said groove interfaces of said first and second rings; and a solar panel in operative communication with said fan blade housing, said solar panel being configured to convert solar energy into electrical energy usable for rotating said fan blade housing.
