Abstract: An inventive wind turbine configuration including a means for increasing wind speed through the body of the turbine and means for directing the fluid air into a discrete portion of the turbine generator is provided. Such a device allows for the capture of wind from any environment, low speed or otherwise, in order to subsequently efficiently increase the overall wind speed thereof for further introduction within the turbine portion. The overall device thus includes a properly configured air intake component portion with a conical component to direct the captured wind directly to a portion of the turbine as well as suitable means to reduce back pressures of the introduced fluid stream.

Abstract: An inventive wind turbine device including an air intake with a curved interior surface for accelerating wind speed and an optional conical component to direct the captured wind directly to a portion of the turbine housed in the throat of the device. Annular slits are optionally included in the air intake to reduce back pressures of the introduced fluid stream. The device has an exhaust portion with a curved interior surface for discharging the wind. A method of generating electricity regardless of external wind speed by channeling wind into an air intake of the device, passing the wind over the curved interior surface of the intake thereby accelerating the wind speed through the device, reducing the back pressure in the intake by discharging a portion of wind through annular slits therein, and using the accelerated wind to generate electricity is also encompassed herein.
