Abstract

This device can come in various size, shapes and power and can vividly demonstrate the importance of certain scientific principles which have been left out or totally misunderstood by the prior art designs. This is why relevant prior art designs are very inefficient and their application results in much wasted wind energy (5). This innovation overcomes these errors of the prior art by in inacting known principles coupled with creativity and the knowledge of the solution to utilize the wind energy in a highly efficient means. An example of one application of the innovation (Fig.1) is detailed in the description of the embodiment. The wind energy producing device comprises one or more slide like incliner(s) (1) and one or more blunt-like member(s) (8) deflect and accelerate the wind (5) into the energy producing means of the device (2). The rotary energy producing means are aligned to the wind direction automatically by any conventional means.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to devices for releasing from the wind useable energy in an ever desiring efficient manner that is also practical to the user.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There have been many devices since ancient time for releasing energy or work from the wind. However, they have been very restrictive in use and costly to install for the small amount of energy produced from the area taken up by the prior art.

Proof, look around the world today for the average home, farm, or industry using the prior art as an energy or work devices. They have ignored scientific principles and missused them in many cases to the detriment or inoperability of the claimed inventions.

Prior to this unique invention, the power of the wind inevidence across the world has only been vividly demonstrated by storms, tornados, hurricanes, etc. Not man's poorly designed wind devices deflectingwind away, energy away or works wind energy against itself and therein drastically reducing rotation of wind energy producing means.

This inventor has been observant of his environment since childhood and has been creative above others, even those skilled in the art. This pioner's invention is from that history of life. Looking earnestly and from his heart for the benefit of the poor people over the Earth, who needed a cheap and practical energy source to get a foot hold on life of quality. Wind which blows the trees, carries pollen, and cools the tired person is that answer.

It becomes obvious to the inventor; the present systems were very impractical for their needs. On studying why this was so, I observed that scientific facts were ignored. Convientional blades of the prior art are nothing more than the airplane wings and follow Bernoulli's effect across the top and bottom of the blades its entire length. Note: the wind hitting the blades on conventional windmills deflects the wind across and off the blades. At the same time, it is accelerating the wind energy and reducing the pressure over the blades and thereby causing the air being compressed on back side of blades in direction of rotation and therein causing breaking effect on blades because of reduced pressure on the front side of blades.

There is also a dead shot in the center of windmill which adds to this wasted wind energy. In fact, a quick demonstration of a child's hand-held device in front of a strong fan will clearly demonstrate the pushing power on the shaft supporting the wind device is a great or greater than the rotational power of the device itself.

Likewise patents already issued since 19^th century to even now, trying to increase the velocity of wind into a rotating energy producing means. Such as US Patents: No. 264,164 (1882) granted to P.H. Jackson, No. 551,165 (1895) granted to J.F. Janssen, No. 648,442 (1900) granted to O.F. Scott, No. 757,800 (1904) granted to JJ. Williams, No. 1,345,022 (1920) granted to D.R. Oliver, No. 1,471,095 (1923) granted to D. Bonetto, No. 1,595,578 (1926) granted to L.G. Sovereign, No. 3,988,072 granted to D.L. Sellman, No. 4,019,828 (1977) granted to G.J. Bunzer, and No. 5,009,569 ((1991) granted to F. N. Hector Sr. All these patents have ignored Law of Gases.

They all describe means to have a large opening for the wind to come into and/or reduce the volume of said means down to smaller discharge of said wind into the rotating energy producing member hoping to utilize unrealistic wind velocity.

None of said patents address the truth of Science, and likewise none of said patents are operable as disclosed or claimed. Even worse, these patents obviously misled many potential inventors which worked against creativity and therein is the opposite of the purpose of providing foundation for creation of other patents worldwide.

This creative invention overcomes all of the above problems of conventional art and will definitely act as a stimulator of the creative mind individuals. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to provide effective acceleration of the wind to maximize the wind energy transformed in the electric power by a generator.

This invention accomplishes the above objective by the device comprising one or more slide like incliner and one or more blunt-like member with slight incline attached to the perimeter of the mouth that deflect and accelerate the wind into the energy producing means of the device.

The wind energy producing device has the rotary energy producing means aligned to the wind direction automatically by any conventional means.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Fig. 1 shows side view and explains with the description of the embodiment how one skilled in the art could build this revolutionary energy wind invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

The form or slide 1 can be made like a wide sliding board. Note: air pressure 4 Inertia 14.7 lbs per sq. inch at sea level. The air molecules 5 are moving left to right up and into opening 6 and rotable blade 7. Note by Brnoulli's Law: air 5 will accelerate going up slide 1. but at the same time, it is not being compressed hardly at all by height of slide 1.

Because the gas or air molecules 5 reach thousand of feet high, therein the Law of Gases is not being violated in this novel invention.

Housing has a blunt forward face at point 8. The air molecules collided against said blunt face 8 and are compressed stacking one another and they will collapse (similar to mud slide) against slight angel of blunt face at the accelerated rate into the mouth 6. Note again, air molecules 5 are free to move on the top or bottom of blunt face 8. The tests conducted by this inventor have proven that by tapering cone type devices of alone named patents cause air molecules 5 to move aside to the direction of the least resistance where after filling up the cone the majority of the wind goes around the cone. This is why said patents do not work as claimed. The blunt face 8 of this invention also sets molecules of air into the path of the list resistance, but only in this case, they go into the mouth of the wind producing mechanism rather than away from it. Therefore, what acts as a detriment to cone devises becomes advantageous when using blunt face(s) of this invention.

The design of blunt face of slight angle works to accelerate air molecules 5 into the mouth 6 of novel invention without violeting Law of Gases, and rotate blades 7.

Example 8 feet high and 9 feet wide mouth 6 with 8 feet high and 9 feet wide blunt face 8 testing data by this inventor proved accelerating of air molecules 5 by a factor of three to one or three hundred percents, and that was without the slide 1 being used at all.

Accordingly, this novel invention can be used with only blunt face 8 or only slide 1. But the preferenced model uses both the slide 1 and blunt face 8 of this invention.

The slide 1 and rotary 7 and its housing are supported by supports 3. The slide 1 can be made with or without high side.

Remember, wind molecules 5 have pressure 4 at the sealevel of 14.7 lbs/in² and therein inertia in direction of flow.

Also, the slide 1 can easily be made to face North, South, West and East with the housing 2 and rotary 7, and the shaft 9 fixed to rotate 360° with any conventional means to automatically align the mouth 6 to the wind 5 coming up active slide 1.

Also, the housing 2, blunt face 8, rotary blades 7, the shaft 9, and the mouth 6 can be made without slide 1 but also, automatically align the mouth 6 into the wind 5. Fanners can easily have dirt dug on their property, therein making a pond or lake for fishing and watering of plants with bulldozer build the slide 1 as described out of dirt and plant grass on it.

This novel invention explains and overcomes the prior art design of wind energy devices. And for the some reasons, this novel invention can produce noticably and practically wind velocities even in areas of normal low wind velocities.
