AIRFLOW POWER GENERATOR

摘要

Converting an air flow into a source of electricity by an airflow generator includes disposing the airflow generator in an air flow path of a machine for receiving the air flow to rotate a turbine bladed portion of the airflow generator that causes a plurality of permanent magnets disposed along the circumference of the bladed portion to cyclically move in close proximity to a plurality of fixed position stator coils thereby generating electrical currents in the coils that can be harvested.

主权项

1. A method of converting an air flow into a source of electricity, the method comprising:
receiving the air flow with an airflow generator comprising an airflow inlet port, a ventilator cowl, and a venting port disposed between the inlet port and the ventilator cowl, the venting port both mitigating induced backpressure and augmenting air flow between the inlet port and the ventilator cowl; and converting the air flow to electricity in response to receiving the air flow.
