An energy conversion device which comprises a stacked array of alternating yawable and fixed toroidal modules about a central core structure. The yawable toroids have typically four impact impellers mounted in their peripheral flow regions for the purpose of capturing flow energy. The fixed toroids are mounted to complement and further enhance fluid flow impact impeller energy capture and to provide housing means for a variety of matter both associated and unassociated with the energy system. The stacked array of a toroid with impellers, designated a Toroidal Rotor Amplifier Platform (TRAP TM ), and a toroid without impellers, designated a Toroidal Wind Frame (TWF TM ), is referred to in aggregate, when used for wind energy conversion, as a Wind Amplified Rotor Platforms (WARP TM ) system. Under wind energy conversion use, a WARP TM system may be used also to both generate electric power and serve as a power line transmission support tower, and/or as a telecommunications or surveillance tower, housing within toroids related structural, transmitting and receiving equipment. |
