摘要: The invention relates to a turbine comprising a primary rotor, for positioning in a fluid flow, having a primary rotor blade rotatable around a primary rotor axis under influence of the fluid flow acting on the primary rotor blade and extending from the primary rotor axis along a longitudinal axis to a free outer end of the primary rotor blade. The primary rotor blade is provided near the free outer end with a secondary rotor. The secondary rotor has a secondary rotor blade rotatable around a secondary rotor axis in response to a rotation of the primary rotor blade around the primary rotor axis. The secondary rotor axis is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the primary rotor blade. The secondary rotor axis is also substantially transverse to the primary rotor axis. The turbine is characterised in that the secondary rotor axis is positioned offset from the longitudinal axis of the primary rotor blade.

摘要: The wind wall is a solid structure composed of modular wind cells; the joint between two adjoining wind cells, seen from a cross-section that passes parallel through the axes of axial symmetry of both wind cells, include a shape of a complete airfoil, and both wind cells are arranged sharing a same chord; where this chord is contained by the adjacent outer section of both wind cells. It is an aerodynamic structure specially designed to increase the wind speed within a critical space and, therefore, increase the wind power available to be used by the rotor of a wind turbine.

摘要: A toroidal lift force engine is provided. Illustratively, the toroidal lift force engine operates in an enclosed environment without heat and/or expelling particles of any kind, utilizing asymmetric pressure distribution on lift turbine blades solely to generate thrust with the normal component of this lift force, while using the tangential component of this lift force to drive accessories, provide control to the fluid velocity, and/or provide motivation of the fluid's flow. The toroidal lift force engine may be utilized to generate thrust, heat and/or electricity for powering vehicles, homes, etc.

摘要: Various examples are provided for power generation using buoyancy-induced vortices. In one example, among others, a vortex generation system includes an array of hybrid vanes comprising a first vane section in a surface momentum boundary layer and a second vane section above the first vane section. The first vane section is configured to impart a first angular momentum on the preheated air in the surface momentum boundary layer and the second vane section is configured to impart a second angular momentum on preheated air drawn through the second vane section. In another embodiment, a method for power extraction from a buoyancy-induced vortex includes imparting angular momentum to preheated boundary layer air entrained by a thermal plume to form a stationary columnar vortex. The angular momentum can be imparted to the preheated boundary layer air at a plurality of angles by an array of hybrid vanes distributed about the thermal plume.
