    摘要: The invention relates to a device for converting wind energy to at least mechanical energy, comprising a rotor drivable rotatably about a rotation axis by wind with a duct disposed therearound, wherein a central axis of the duct coincides with the rotation axis of the rotor, wherein the duct comprises a wind inlet opening and a wind outlet opening, and wherein the device is embodied such that in use of the device an air pressure in a central part of the wind outlet opening is lower than an air pressure at the wind inlet opening. The device can be provided for this purpose with a number of rear stator blades disposed downstream of the rotor in the duct for guiding the wind away in a downstream direction, which rear stator blades extend radially outward from the central axis.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for converting wind energy to at least mechanical energy, comprising a rotor with a number of rotor blades drivable rotatably about a rotation axis by wind and a duct disposed therearound, wherein a central axis of the duct substantially coincides with the rotation axis of the rotor, characterized by guide means disposed upstream of the rotor for guiding the wind in a substantially helical movement round the central axis during use of the device such that the wind is supplied in the substantially helical movement round the central axis to the rotor.
