WIND-DRIVEN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM ADAPTED FOR MOUNTING ALONG THE SIDE OF VERTICAL, MAN-MADE STRUCTURES SUCH AS LARGE BUILDINGS

摘要

An ?pdraft wind powered electrical generator system mountable to sides of a vertical, man-made structures facing prevailing winds. The updraft system includes a tubular housing that can include at least one fixed helical vane formed onto the Inner surfaces of the tubular housing in a spiral and adapted to direct wind into a spiraied flow and focus fluid onto a fan blade assembly associated with an alternator system and located within the tubular housing before a system exhaust. A generator cone can be mounted near the center and front of the fan blade assembly facing wind passing through the tubular housing. As wind passes over the generator cone it experiences compression between the generator cone and housing resulting in increased pressure and velocity of the fluid, thereby increasing rotational speed of the generator blades and generator as the compressed, spiraied fluid passes through the blades and exits the tubular housing.
