  • Patent number: 8084880
    Abstract: A fixed convergent collecting concentrator is provided. The concentrator contains two spaced-apart, co-axial, approximately horizontal, concentric plates with approximately circular shape centered on a vertical axis. The space between said plates is separated by vertical partition walls radially disposed about the axis thereof. The walls connect to the plates to form several sectors such that, irrespective of the direction of the wind, certain sectors collect and concentrate the air flow which enters the respective sectors. Each sector is connected to an intermediate tube which is in fluid communication with an accumulating tube, thus forming a system of tubes which is oriented in a common direction, optionally towards the ground. A turbine or other engine adapted for energy conversion being placed inside the concentrator or tubes.
