  • Publication number: 20130028723
    Abstract: A system and method for generating electrical power using a shrouded wind turbine system. Specifically, a shrouded wind turbine system can comprise a frame, a turbine mounted to said frame, wherein said turbine comprises a hub, a plurality of blade mounts connected to said hub, said hub rotatable, such that during said rotation said blade mounts move toward a turbine rear when above said hub and toward a turbine front when below said hub. In another embodiment, the shrouded wind turbine system can also comprise a plurality of blades, each connected to a unique one of said blade mounts, and an upper wind shroud comprising a front and a rear, said upper wind shroud front mounted above said turbine front and said upper wind shroud rear mounted above said turbine rear, further wherein said upper wind shroud front is mounted higher than said upper wind rear.
