Abstract

A wind turbine comprises a central shaft 2 about which rotates a wind driven rotor (1, figure 2) which causes rotation of one or more magnets 5, 6 about wire coil windings 8 to generate electricity. The magnets 5, 6 and windings 8 may be shaped to correspond to the shape of the central shaft 2. The windings 8 may surround the central shaft, with the magnets 5, 6 surrounding the windings 8. Alternatively the magnets 5, 6 and windings 8 may form a generator remote from the turbine, but connected thereto by gearing. The turbine may be mounted vertically in the path of wind generated by the movement of a vehicle. The turbine may be mounted along the side of a railway track or road to be driven by wind generated by trains or cars, or may be mounted at the front of a vehicle.

Description

IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO ENERGY GENERATION
The present invention relates to improvement in or relating to energy generation and in particular to the production of electrical energy from wind.
The use of wind to generate energy is well established as is the use of wind power to produce electrical energy. It has also been proposed in for example, United States Patent Application Publication US 2008 0642446 to use the wind created by moving objects such as automobiles, trains, aircraft and ships to generate energy. US 2008 0642446 is concerned with means to direct wind generated by a moving object towards a propeller.
The present invention relates to compact, simple and aesthetically pleasing means for the generation of energy from wind.
The present invention therefore comprises a device for the generation of energy from wind comprising a central shaft about which can rotate a wind driven turbine which causes rotation of one or more magnets about wire coils to thereby generate electricity. The device is particularly useful for the generation of electricity from wind generated by moving objects. I...
The wire coils are preferably mounted around a metal core which is attached to the * *. central shaft. * I * * I.
In a preferred embodiment the device is mounted vertically in the path of the wind generated by the moving object and it may be mounted on a pole to enable it to be located at the optimum height to catch the wind. The turbine comprises a housing that is rotatable about a central shaft and is linked to the one or more magnets. It is also preferred that the housing is provided with suitable wind capturing vanes and the housing is linked to the magnet or magnets so that rotation of the housing around the shaft causes rotation of the magnet or magnets around the wire coils. The shaft itself may then form the metal core or alternative and preferably a metal core is fixedly mounted on the shaft so that electricity is generated by the rotation of the magnets around the metal coils due to the wind from the moving object causing the housing to rotate. The wind capturing vanes may be of any size and shape according to the environment in which the device is to be used.
Electrical connections to the metal core and/or the coils may be provided so that the electricity generated can be carried for storage and/or use. The electricity may be passed to one or more batteries for storage or passed to a grid, it may be used to power individual devices or it may be used to recharge batteries.
In an alternative embodiment the rotation of the turbine may be used to drive an electrical generator remote from the device and appropriate gearing may be provided to drive a plurality of generators if desired.
The turbine rotates about the central shaft and it is preferred that bearings are provided at the top and bottom of the shaft to allow free and easy rotation of the turbine around the shaft.
The device of the present invention is particularly useful for the generation of energy from a variety of moving vehicles. The device may be mounted on a pole and mounting of the device enables the device to be located at the optimum height to maximise the effect of the wind generated by the moving object. In a preferred embodiment the device is used to produce electrical energy from the wind generated by moving trains. In this embodiment a plurality of devices may be mounted along * *. 20 the side of the railway track capturing the energy throughout sections if not the whole of the journey of the train. In one embodiment where the trains are powered by overhead electric cables the device of the present invention may be mounted on the stanchions that support the overhead cables. In other embodiments the device may be mounted close to roads such as, for example, on road signs, bollards or lamp posts. The device may also be mounted close to the exit from tunnels to catch the : *. air expelled from a tunnel as a train is passing through it.
S
S.....
* The device may also be mounted on a vehicle to generate electricity by virtue of the air currents caused by the movement of the vehicle. Vehicles can be automobiles, trucks, buses and motor cycles. In a particularly preferred embodiment the device can be located adjacent to the radiator of a vehicle, preferably lying horizontally.
Here the energy could be used to recharge any batteries employed in the vehicle especially for battery powered vehicles.
The optimum dimensions of the device will depend upon the use to which it is to be put. Furthermore the device should be as light as possible consistent with sufficient strength to not be broken by the wind to which it is exposed. In the embodiment where the device is to be used to generate energy from wind caused by movement of a train it is preferred that the device be mounted to extend at least half the height of a conventional passenger train and preferably to be parallel with the upper half of the train. The devices should preferably be mounted at a distance of one half of a metre to two metres away from the side of the train track.
The vanes of the turbine may conveniently be integral with the housing and may be of any suitable material. However it is preferred that both the vanes and the housing are as light as possible consistent with having sufficient strength and durability. In particular the housing and the vanes may be produced from light weight composite materials. Examples of suitable materials are plastics including fibre filled plastics such as glass or carbon fibre filled polypropylene, nylon or epoxy resin. Composites comprising a foamed core such as a core of crosslinked epoxy or polyurethane foam can be used as can honeycomb structures particularly strengthened honeycomb structures which are particularly preferred as the light weight enhances the rotation of the turbine upon impact of the wind. The housing should be mounted on the central shaft in a way that enables free and easy rotation of the housing and the associated magnets. The housing may also be coloured to blend in with the surroundings. For example, it may be green to blend in with railway banks. The preferred height of the * *. 20 housing depends upon the use to which the device is to be put.We have found that a height of from one half to three meters is particularly useful especially one half to two meters * ** * S * * In a preferred embodiment the magnets are shaped to correspond to the shape of the metal core. In a preferred embodiment the central shaft is cylindrical and the r *:* wiring is in a cylindrical form around the shaft and acts as the stator of the generator and the magnets are curved to correspond to the cylindrical shape and act as the rotator of the generator. It is also preferred that the magnets extend substantially the length of the metal core or they can extend beyond one or more of the ends of the metal core. The number of magnets employed can vary according to the size of the device but we have found that from 2 to 4 magnets, preferably 2 magnets curved around the metal core is particularly suitable. The wire coils may then be provided between the metal core and the shaft of the device to transmit the generated electricity. In a preferred embodiment copper wire coils are employed.
Other uses for the devices of the present invention are mounting on moving aircraft and ships. Alternatively the devices may be mounted at the end of airport runways where they can be driven by the wind generated by aircraft when they take off. In this instance the vanes and the housing should be of a material that can withstand the temperature of the exhaust gasses. The device may also be mounted on buildings such as domestic houses, shops, schools, warehouses and the like. In another embodiment the device can be portable and used to generate electricity for caravans, camping or other outdoor activities for example to provide light, heat for cooking or enable radios, televisions and other similar articles to function.
The present invention is illustrated by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a cut away illustration of a device according to the present invention.
Figure 2 shows how devices of the present invention may be mounted adjacent to a railway track to capture the wind generated by a moving train and Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of how the movement of a train can generate a wind to drive the turbine.
