  • Publication number: 20110187114
    Abstract: A wind turbine has a housing with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. Enclosed within the housing is a rotor unit having a horizontally oriented shaft and elongated double-sided blades. Each blade has two concave outer surfaces for creating optimum lift regardless of wind flow direction. Secured within the housing and over and under the blades are shroud members which assist in creating a Venturi effect, that is rapid air flow within the housing, further increasing the efficiency of the wind turbine. Louvers are provided on the sides of the housing to optimally direct air flow into, through, and out of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20100237627
    Abstract: A vehicle mounted wind powered generator has a self-contained housing with an open, forward airflow intake section and a rear airflow exhaust section. The housing is configured to be mounted on the roof of a vehicle by conventional mounting supports. Airflow is directed into the housing where it is constricted in order to increase the airflow velocity past one or more wind turbines. The airflow is then directed through a channel within the housing and is ultimately discharged through the exhaust section. Power generated by the wind turbines is used to create electricity by means of an attached electricity-generating device, e.g. an alternator/generator. The electricity produced operates a hydrogen production system having its components located within the housing of the hydrogen generator. The resultant hydrogen gas is directed to the engine of the vehicle to increase its efficiency and reduce its emissions.
