  • Windmill device with oriented air flow
    Patent number: 8371809
    Abstract: A wind power engine including a stator having stator blades, and a rotor having rotor blades. The rotor is positioned inside the hollow area of the stator and is rotationally movable with respect to the stator about an axis of rotation. The stator blades are positioned in such a way that an air flow coming from the outside of the stator is oriented towards the rotor and the rotor blades. The oriented airflow allows the rotor blades to drive the rotor about the axis of rotation. At least certain rotor blades have a concave-shaped profile on one of their faces.

  • Wind turbine with low vertical axis
    Patent number: 6309172
    Abstract: A wind module includes a base plate, a turbine rotatably mounted on the base plate, a plurality of directional fins carried by the base plate peripherally adjacent said turbine, and a cover plate over the turbine and plurality of directional fins. The cover plate may have a domed shape. The plurality of vertical blades may be eight or more in number. In addition, each vertical blade may have an asymmetrical profile based on an aircraft wing which favors a double thrust and drag effect The directional fins may also have an asymmetrical profile to accelerate wind flow. The turbine, base plate, cover plate, and each of the directional fins is preferably integrally formed as a single piece to facilitate assembly.
