  • Patent number: 8432056
    Abstract: The shrouded vertical axis dual-turbine generator is a system comprising a structure in the shape of a double airplane wings symmetrical foil, having a vertical axis turbine set into each camber at each side of the foil. The aerodynamic shape of the leading edge of the foil increases the speed of the water or air current incoming toward the generator. The trailing edge of the foil creates a slip stream which reduces turbulence. Movable shutters on each side of the foil structure control the amount of current to the turbines and sheltering them from storm and debris. The turbines have a modular design and can be made of a stacked number of blades.

  • Publication number: 20100213720
    Abstract: The Shrouded Vertical Axis Dual-Turbine Generator is a system consisting of a superstructure in the shape of a symmetrical foil, with a vertical axis turbine set into the camber of each side. The leading edge of the superstructure increases the speed of the water or air current passing around the generator. The trailing edge creates a slip stream which reduces turbulence. Shutters on each side of the superstructure control the amount of current in contact with the turbines by sliding forward or rearward to increase or decrease flow to the turbines. The turbines are modular in design and can be customized into longer or shorter turbines, depending on application.
