Amplified wind turbine apparatus

摘要

The invention relates to the utilization of wind energy and increasing the effects thereof for power generation. Amplified wind turbine apparatus is disclosed wherein ambient inlet air is prerotated in a first air rotation chamber (B) having a high pressure profile increasing the turbulence and Reynolds number thereof and a second rotation chamber (C) adjacent and downstream of the turbine has a low pressure core profile whereby flow across the turbine is accelerated and thereafter exits the turbine apparatus through a draft anti-interference device (D) which eliminates interference with ambient winds at the outlet of the turbine apparatus. Pivotable vanes 12 controlled in response to prevailing wind direction admit air to the chambers and aid in imparting rotation. A central core 20 may be utilized for creating the desired pressure profile in chamber B.
