摘要： Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for controlling a voltage output of a turbine. Controlling a voltage output of a turbine includes a rectifier for converting an AC output of a turbine to a DC voltage; a sensor for measuring the DC voltage; a charge controller for receiving the DC voltage from the rectifier and produce a DC output, including: a first circuit meeting a first performance criterion for a first DC range, a second circuit meeting a second performance criterion for a second DC operating range, a switch channeling the DC voltage between the first and second circuits; and a processor for receiving the DC voltage measurement from the sensor, and use the switch to channel the DC voltage between the first and second circuits, thereby meeting the first and second performance criteria when the DC voltage is in the first and second DC ranges, respectively.

摘要： A turbine with an associated shaftless electric generator includes a rotor and a stator; a mounting plate rotatable with the rotor and a void along a central axis of the rotor. A plurality of blades extend from the mounting plate. Adjustable bearings are interposed between the rotor and the stator, the adjustable bearings being configured to support the mounting plate and the plurality of blades. A threaded adjustor rod located in the void may be manipulated to adjust tension on the adjustable bearings.

摘要： A flat-packable wind turbine assembly kit, includes a flat-packed bendable airfoil having an upper edge and a lower edge. The flat-packed bendable airfoil is capable of assuming a predefined curvature upon assembly. The flat-packed bendable airfoil includes upper connecting elements distributed along the upper edge and lower connecting elements distributed along the lower edge of the flat-packed bendable airfoil. The flat-packed bendable airfoil also includes a flat-packed upper plate including an upper mating orifices distributed in a contour corresponding to the predefined curvature. Further, the flat-packed bendable airfoil includes a flat-packed lower plate including lower mating orifices distributed in the contour corresponding to the predefined curvature. Thus, upon assembly when the upper connecting elements are connected to the upper mating orifices and when the lower connecting elements are connected to the lower mating orifices, the flat-packed bendable airfoil assumes the predefined curvature.
