  • Shrounded wind turbine configuration with nozzle augmented diffuser
    Patent number: 9932959
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system, a method and an apparatus of diffuser nozzle augmented wind turbine. In one embodiment, a method includes attaching a nozzle with a streamlined opening to a diffuser to direct an air flow into a wind turbine. In addition, the method includes increasing a wind speed approaching a set of turbine blades within a shrouded wind turbine configuration. The method also includes recirculating the air within the shroud configuration to increase an output power generated through the wind turbine. The system is composed of diffuser and nozzle integrated and non-integrated with and without a flange. In one embodiment, a method includes increasing a pressure differential of a wind turbine.
