  • Wind-powered generator system for generating electric power over a wide range of wind conditions
    Patent number: 7453168
    Abstract: A wind-powered turbine generation system configured to generate electric power over a wide range of wind conditions and particularly in high wind speed and wind gust conditions. A plurality of ducted turbines is provided in an enclosure rotatably mounted to a vertical support. Rows of magnetic irises surround the turbine shafts with each iris adjustable to throttle the airflow over the turbine blades, permitting the turbine generator to operate in high wind velocity gusts.
    Type: Grant

  • WIND-POWERED GENERATOR SYSTEM FOR GENERATING ELECTRIC POWER OVER A WIDE RANGE OF WIND CONDITIONS
    Publication number: 20080238106
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wind-powered turbine generation system configured to generate electric power over a wide range of wind conditions and particularly in high wind speed and wind gust conditions where current wind turbine technologies fail. A plurality of ducted turbines is provided in an enclosure rotatably mounted to a vertical support. Rows of magnetic irises surround the turbine shafts with each iris adjustable to throttle the airflow over the turbine blades, permitting the turbine generator to operate in high wind velocity gusts.
