Complete Specification

Vertical Wind Turbine with Navigated Wind

Vertical Wind Turbine with Navigated Wind is designed for all applications (domestic, commercial, industrial), and it comes in any size and few different shapes and designs. This type of Vertical Wind Turbine comes in different heights and sizes for Wind Turbine itself and surrounding steel/other material and structure that surrounds Turbine in the centre. That structure that surrounds Wind Turbine is called Wind - Guards as per attached drawings, and it can be round, square or any other shape. Whichever is suitable for the application. Wind-guards are compartments made of different materials (primarily steel), used to capture Wind in large sections and to direct that Wind/air in compressed form, towards the Turbine in the centre of round Wind guard structure, where Wind Turbine is placed. That means we have Wind Turbine with the Blades at the centre and Wind-Guards all around, which are much larger than Turbine itself, and all that combine creates one unity, called Vertical Wind Turbine, With Navigated Wind. The entire structure around Central Wind Turbine, is designed to capture the Wind and direct that Wind to Wind Turbine Blades, which are position on the Wind Turbine itself in the centre of the entire structure. Just like in Hydro Power Plant, where water hits only one side of a Turbine and into the exact spot on the Turbines Blades, here we have same thing. Wind Turbine Guards and structure around Wind Turbine itself, are divided into sections, creating sections or a tunnel for wind flow. Wind is captured and flows through those tunnels, and instantly directed to the Wind Turbine itself, in the centre of the Structure. Those walls which separate Wind

Page 2 of 10

Guards and create tunnels are curved, and therefor they exhilarate Wind even further, making it pressurised and with increased force and wind speed. When Wind is captured from any direction (each degree of each side covers 180 degree wind capture), it is instantly directed to the Turbine itself and its Blades in the centre. That means wind is captured from direction it is blowing from, covering 180-degree wide aria, and more than one or two compartments or tunnels capture that wind and they all direct captured wind to the Wind Turbine Blades in the Centre. In other words, not just one tunnel delivers wind to the Turbine Blades, but all of them facing that direction do that and force Wind Turbine to spin much faster and under wind/air pressure. Which is good, as this principal makes it even winds of 1m per second or a draft, to spin Wind Turbine and efficiently.

Those tunnels then take Wind from few different compartments/tunnels under certain angle, to the Wind Turbine blades and forcing Wind Turbine to spin. Each Turbine Blade has its own wind sections/tunnel, directed to each turbine blade all around Wind Turbine itself. How many turbine blades we have on the Wind Turbine is how many separate sections we should have around the wind turbine and within Wind-Guard Structure, or tunnels. One tunnel per each Wind Turbine Blade, which makes it easy to calculate how many Wind-Guard tunnels we need, when we are constructing Wind Turbines of this kind. Wind turbine spins in one direction always no matter from which direction wind blows. That is because tunnels are curved and at the end near Wind Turbine itself, they are skinnier and with smaller opening or diameter if round. By being skinny at the end, more pressure is created, and stronger wind is created at the same time, or air flow. And Wind is directed to hit Wind Turbine Blades exactly where we want it to hit or where is pre-calculated for Wind to hit those blades. This is why these types of Wind Turbines are different and so efficient.

Page 3 of 10

Navigated Wind is a novelty and creating pressurised wind/air tunnels is also. No matter from which direction Wind blows, we always have same results, and with multiplied performance and efficiency. Because we deliberately increasing speed of wind and creating more pressure before Wind Turbine blades and where Wind is released to hit Wind Turbine blades. No other Wind Turbine has this ability, therefore Vertical Wind Turbine, With Navigated Wind is the most efficient Wind Turbine ever Proposed. By doing all this and using these working principals for Wind Turbine, resistance on the other side of turbine to wind is eliminated. Wind never gets to hit other side of Turbine Blades, of 180-degree on the opposite side from where wind blows from. And that is why there is no stopping force on the Turbine at all, or any resistance which could force Wind Turbine to spin much slower. That is what makes it so efficient. This is revolutionary innovation which solves the most important issue that most and if not, all Wind Turbines have. In more simple words, this is how we eliminate resistance to Wind to all other sections of Wind Turbine and its Blades, except those where we want Wind to Blow and hit the Wind Turbine Blades.

There is no miss hit or waste of wind or air flow in any way and at all. Every bit of Wind captured in those Wind-Guard tunnels is utilized and used wisely to spin Wind Turbine. Because of these working Principals, this type of wind turbine is proposed to be the most efficient Wind Turbine on the Planet. As per Drawings working principles of this Invention allows us to Design few different Turbines, being based on same working principles. Main innovation here is to navigate Wind towards Wind Turbine blades, and to eliminate resistance to Wind on the opposite side, for other blades of a same Wind Turbine.

That alone boost efficiency of this Wind Turbine to its maximum. These unique working principals, offer many ways to deliver wind to the Wind Turbine, as in

round structure as per drawings, so for single long tunnel structure, or say few of those with the wind turbines installed at the end. Wind entry at the tunnels face is very wide and at the end near Turbine itself they are squashed and very skinny. Or in funnel shape most of times. In this case scenario we must direct Wind to hit only one side of the Wind Turbine and not the whole Turbine. But if we instantly without any problems want to capture wind from any direction, then round option is the best selection for this kind of Wind Turbines.

This Wind Turbine is designed for all applications (domestic, commercial, industrial) and it comes in any size and few different shapes and designs. So, Vertical Wind Turbine, With Navigated Wind, is primarily of round shape and contains few main elements in it. Internal Wind-guards or steel/other material plates, which are used for Wind navigation, central Wind Turbine, which is positioned in the center of the entire structure and structure of the entire concept, top and bottom plates, posts attached to the ground, electrical Generator, Gearbox (optional), protecting mesh for birds and animal protection and foundation along with some other smaller elements, like grill mesh in some sections/other, earth, rims, protective covers, reinforced beams and some other.

This type of Vertical Wind Turbine is nearly a 100% animal safe and Birds safe. Around mouth of Wind-Guard Structure protective mesh is installed all around, which serves as a barrier which Birds and animals cannot enter. That stops all animals, from entering internal structure of the Entire Wind Turbine Structure, and especially sections where Wind Turbine and Blades are installed. So, to kill bird or any other animals is virtually impossible.

This type of Vertical Wind Turbine with some designs can be Designed and placed in horizontal position as well. Therefore, both versions can apply but

Page 5 of 10

primary position is Vertical position and most common one. Vertical Wind Turbine, with Navigated Wind is designed for all applications, and it can be installed on solid posts, on the ground, on top of the hill, on the roof of home or other buildings including high-rise building in the cities/other, near buildings/other. These Wind Turbines are ideal for rooftop application in a smaller and medium size version. For a square Buildings we have an option to fabricate Square Wind Gurd Structure and with the round Wind Turbine in the center. That is if we want to make large version and cover the entire flat roof of a Building. But Rond version is proposed to work well in any scenario. So, we get to choose really what we want and what Design to go for. These Wind Turbines come in any size, so therefore electricity outputvaries with different designs and sizes.

This type of Wind Turbine is designed to capture even smallest draft and to operate wind turbine in the center. Wind Turbine itself in the Center, is also designed in a special way. Curved Wind Turbine blades are also designed to capture first wind that enters. End of Wind blades are corrugated at certain point, to capture Wind better and avoid sliding of Wind/air in any direction. Same Wind Turbine blades are curved-in in width and slightly curved-in in the height. Curvature of the wind turbine blade in Height is done so the air release goes upwards in vertical direction. So, to make things clear, excess of wind is released upwards. That same released air is later used to cool electrical Generator, which is installed in most cases on top of the wind turbine. It is also possible to have more than one Wind Turbine installed and more Generators installed on top of those/other. We can have multiple smaller Wind Turbines installed also, which depends on design of this Energy Technology. Usage of

Gearbox is optional. Conventional Gearbox can apply but also electronic and fully automatic Gearbox is to be used. Automatic Gearbox will regulate spinning

Page 6 of 10

of turbine at different wind strengths. It is also used to increase RPM of Generator with smaller or softer winds.

These types of Wind Turbines are also proposed to have automatic Wind Gates, which can open and close completely if necessary and regulate wind intake. Example, In case of some strong Storm/other. Wind - Guards and that section is permanently attached to its foundation (post, ground, roof etc.) and it does not rotate or spin. The only section that rotates and spin is Wind Turbine in the center and Generator. In other words, Wind-guards are fixed to its foundation and do not spin ever. Wind-guards come in different shapes and sizes (round, curved, square etc.). Wind electrical Generators of all models could be used and could apply. This Wind Turbine is extremely environmentally friendly and suitable for so many different locations and applications. They can be positioned on the Ocean, Sea, Lake as well and as Floating Wind Turbines, on top of a Building as mentioned before or any tall hill, for larger Wind Turbines or Industrial type of them. It is also possible to develop multi-level turbine in height where we can attach one or more electric Generators on the same axle and Multi Wind Turbines to run or spin those.

Wind is Renewable Energy source, and not much at all used in Domestic sector like Solar Energy is used for example. That is because of noise of Wind Turbines and poor efficiency and Designs of Wind Turbines we have on the market today. With Vertical Wind Turbine with Navigated Wind, things will change and change fast. Wind Turbines of this kind with a unique working principal, will for sure enter the Energy Market and prove their worth. Wind is very important energy source and cannot be ignored. Now that we have the most efficient Wind Turbine Technology, we can easy plan to combine these with the solar on any Rooftop, and help compensate for demand of electricity, which is growing

Page 7 of 10

worldwide, daily. If proven, that these Wind Turbines are bit too noisy for Roof applications, then as an option, they can be placed in any corner of a block of land of a front and back yard on a tall Post. Thos Posts can be hydraulic as well to reach higher heights and capture more wind. Or as a single structure tall post. So, noise will be moved away from a Home or a Building. The same applies for EMR, as some larger Wind Turbines do produce that as well. Safety in all aspects is what this Wind Turbine offers. Safety for use, for Human lives, for animals and Birds and wildlife in general.

Besides safety This Wind Turbine type offers very high efficiency rate, so in combination with Solar Energy we could gain some serious energy results and Electricity supply.

Rooftop Wind Turbines will come in fashion with this innovation and compliment Energy Demands in years to come. Wind we get for free, so why not utilize that Wind and convert into useful energy source for any application.

Vertical Wind Turbine with Navigated Wind is unique Technology which solves many issues Wind Energy is faced with.
