Abstract: A vertical axis wind turbine blade comprising a blade body with a leading edge and trailing edge there between being generally parallel to each other with a series of a given intersecting triangulation of troughs along the enire blade length with each trough so intersecting transversally the trailing edge and being a upwardly given taper in direction of the leading edge by approximately 80 percent of the blade width and therewithal each trough is formed into a wind channelling containment of equispaced troughs there upon being adjacent with each other along the blade length and with the trough width therein respectively changing the wind driven air columns for a maximum transferring of energy to the blades on the windward side by a higher pressure building up while going into the troughs, while there about on the opposite side there is a reversal type of effect being cause by a pressure drop across the troughs by a lowering of air pressure flows into the troughs to therein cause an effect of speeding up the v
Abstract: A cross wind axis type wind turbine includes four wind driven airfoil blades pivotally connected between upper and lower sets of support spokes supported on a rotating vertical column so that the blades are upwardly inclined towards the column axis to produce an accelerated downwardly swirling air flow in the turbine interior. The lower spokes are airfoil shaped to draw wind into the turbine to further accelerate the air flow in the turbine for improved blade efficiency. A feedback control arrangement responsive to changes in wind speed or direction adjusts the blade angles to the wind for optimum efficiency by virtue of a rack and pinion assembly connecting each blade to a center plate through connecting rods extending radially through each upper spoke.
