TURBINE DRIVEN BY WIND OR MOTOR AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY

摘要

A turbine for generating electrical power includes oppositely rotating wheels which can be driven primarily by wind for driving a plurality of electrical power generators, or by a motor which may be a diesel, solar, electrical, or alternative fuel motor. One or more of the generators can also function as motors for driving the wheels. A method for generating electrical power involves a pair of wheels which rotate oppositely on a central shaft and a plurality of generators driven by the rotation of the wheels for generating power. The rotation of the wheels can be adjusted to a desired speed having regard to the current velocity of the wind and by means of a motor which is connected to the wheels so as to impart rotation thereof.

主权项

1. A wind turbine system comprising:
a first ring-like disk having at least one wind catching blade mounted diametrically therein; a framework for supporting the first ring-like disk in a substantially vertical position and the first ring-like disk is rotatably connected via its central axis to the framework, the framework being mounted on a platform for elevating the first ring-like disk; at least one generator having a rotor and being mounted on the framework and disposed radially on a first outer rim of the first ring-like disk and the rotor being in intimate contact with the outer rim of the first ring-like disk to transmit torque for generating electricity via a rotation of the first ring-like disk by a force of a wind; and a first motor being in mechanical connection with the first ring-like disk for rotating the first ring-like disk independently of the rotation produced by the force of the wind.
