  • SUBSTANTIALLY SPHERICAL MULTI-BLADE WIND TURBINE
    Publication number: 20110187117
    Abstract: A substantially spherical multi-blade wind turbine (SSMBWT) includes: (a) a plurality of multifunctional blades (2); and (b) a rotating axis (3) configured to rotate when the blades capture wind and for coupling to a power generator (4a), wherein each multifunctional blade (2) comprises three integrated functional sections (2a, 2b, 2c), wherein each functional section has a different shape and is configured to guide and evacuate incoming airflow and to capture wind energy from different anisotropic directions, ranging from around to above and below the body of the substantially spherical multi-blade wind turbine (SSMBWT).
