  • Patent number: 10364795
    Abstract: A wind energy generation turbine is built to take advantage of high winds in mountain passes and other areas of extreme wind velocity. A windmill section is raised high by support structures. Electricity generators are kept in the base of the windmill to reduce elevated weight. A nozzle or shroud channels wind into a narrow raceway to take advantage of the Venturi effect. Windmill blade tips housed within a circular raceway are strengthened by blade tip connectors and blade spar struts against high wind forces. Windmill blade angle and windmill wind facing are dynamically altered by computerized motors for maximum efficiency. Windmill blade angle and/or generator load maintain ratio of windmill blade tip speed to wind speed for efficiency. Turbine speed translation gears are able to decouple windmill from 60 Hz cycle or use water pumps and gravity to store energy at peak generation times.

  • Patent number: 9777707
    Abstract: A windmill for generating electricity is described, which contains several improvements that enable the blades of the windmill to be much wider than conventional electricity-generating windmill blades. The rotor containing the blades will also change direction to capture the largest amount of wind energy available. The windmill includes a “shroud” surrounding the blades, which increases the wind velocity through the blades. Support structures for the windmill are described, and also a method of using the windmill to store electricity to use later is shown. The windmill is more stable than conventional windmills. A method of using a windmill to generate electricity is also described.
