Abstract

A windmill is built into the structure of a building to utilise the differential pressure created by the structure to generate electric power, e.g. for heating the building.

Description

SPECIFICATION A Method of Harnessing Wind Power My proposition is to use a windmill which relies on the tangential application of wind power in a manner not unlike the way a water wheel works.
The differential pressure necessary to cause the mill to rotate is created by the shielding effect of the surrounding structures and the relationship of the whole to the prevailing wind. The principle intention is to place such a windmill in the most advantageous positions within the walls or roof of a building, such that the prevailing winds will produce the greatest rotary motion possible. This mechanical energy might most appropriately be used directly to drive a dynamo which in turn would power heating elements to produce hot water and indirectly run the central heating.
Paddles might be either rigid or flexible and of fixed or variable geometry. Additional cowling could be made adjustable to increase efficiency, operated either manually or automatically.
Claims
1. The use of a building or other similar structure to create a differential pressure across the rotor of a windmill, built into the structure to maximise this, so that the rotation produce is then available for conversion into an energy form usable either within the building or elsewhere.
2. As in claim one, but where the building or structure simply acts as support for a selfcontained unit to achieve the same rotational motion of the windmill blades.
