摘要: This invention discloses an improved wind turbine suitable for mounting without a wind turbine tower. The wind turbine is based on a rotor with appropriately selected blades. A nozzle and diffuser in the wind flow increase the amount of wind energy available to the rotor. The rotor is interruptibly connected with one or more of a plurality of generators which allows generation at a wide range of wind speeds. The rotor is also interruptibly connected with a co-axial flywheel which allows for storage or use of rotational energy as needed by the availability of wind energy. One or more wind turbines can be grouped together in a common housing. Electricity can also be generated by means of stored energy or other motive source. The lack of a wind turbine tower and the general compact design allows the wind turbine to be used in close proximity to or on buildings.

摘要: An example system includes a ground station, an aerial vehicle, a tether, a probe, and a control system. The tether includes a core having a strength member as well as an electrical conductor that is wound around the core. The probe is attached to the strength member so that the probe is able to measure an electrical property of at least a portion of the strength member. The control system is configured to measure the electrical property along the strength member at a predetermined measurement rate and also determine that the electrical property is outside a predetermined range. Based on the electrical property, damage to the tether core can be assessed.

摘要: The present invented device is mounted on tower at seashore, desert or mountaintops. The device is mounted on the rotating stand, which is on the tower. As the air will be released into a long tunnel (tail), the device will automatically arrange in wind facing direction and the running air will continuously enter into the device. The entered inner part of the device has air collection chambers, so when the wind will get concentrated it will create air pressure. The pressured air will be released into a tunnel, where the turbine is mounted into the tail part to generate energy. And pressurized air will be released from the tail. The multiple device will be placed on high tower as high as a general windmill is mounted.

摘要: An Airborne Wind Turbine (“AWT”) may be used to facilitate conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy. An AWT may include an aerial vehicle that flies in a path to convert kinetic wind energy to electrical energy. The aerial vehicle may be tethered to a ground station with a tether that terminates at a tether termination mount. In one aspect, the tether has a core and at least one electrical conductor. The tether core may be terminated at a first location in a tether termination mount along an axis of the termination mount, and the at least one electrical conductor may be terminated at a second location in the tether termination mount along the same axis that the core is terminated. This termination configuration may focus tensile stress on the tether to the tether core, and minimize such stress on the at least one electrical conductor during aerial vehicle flight.
