Abstract

A wind efficient turbine, eg for use on dual purpose ships to supply electricity for electric motor engines or for domestic house electricity, is developed from a standard wind turbine by adding a motor E to it. This enables it to continue to rotate and produce electricity when there is no wind, using the electricity already generated and stored. The turbine may have a rotor with curved blades located between a circular upper motor storage container A, fig. 1, and a circular lower generator storage container B, fig. 1. The generator may be made up from top and bottom discs M, O, fig.3. The motor may have only two-thirds of the strength of the generator discs.

Description

Wind Efficient Turbine
Description
My invention of the wind turbine is unique as it is able to operate even when there is no wind.
This is possible as the magnetic force of the generator discs is less than one third greater than the force produced by the motor which rotates it when there is no wind. In starting of the motor there is a push start provided by the disc mechanism by the operation of a button this eliminates the less than one third resistance which is greater than the two thirds force of the motor. Once the motor is running the rotation of the discs continues as the resistance opposing the motor is less than one third.
The wind turbine blades are unique in design. It is made up of a semi circular shape at the top which continues into a decreasing concave line to the base. The blade is attached to a twelve inch disc in a semi circular shape to make the blade shape concave.
Wind Efficient Turbine
Design. Specification
Figure 1 Shows the wind efficient turbine.
* Reference (A) is the motor storage container. The shape of the container is circular to make it less wind resistant. This motor container is sound proofed as the motor can produce a lot of noise. Container (Ref A, Ref B) are finished with fibre glass and resin to make them weather proof and tougher. This also makes them within safety requirements.
* Reference (D) Are the fins of the wind turbine.
* Reference (B) is the container for the generator disc and rotating mechanism disc.
The shape of the container can be circular to make it less wind resistant.
* Reference (C) is the bracket which connects the top container to the bottom container.
This enables the turbine blades to rotate freely as it provides a frame for the wind turbine.
* Reference (B) is the base of the turbine which the complete turbine is attached. This provides extra water resistance as well as providing an attachment point for it to any surface, providing the right fixings are used. The base is suitable for flat roofs. It can be set on chimney tops and house roofs provided the right fixings are used. The design is very well insulated as the generator core discs are set in resin making it impossible for any electric conduction. There fore eliminating the use of foundations and construction pole to give added height.
Figure 2 Shows the bracket, this bracket is connected to Fig 1 (Ref A) and Fig 1(Ref B). This enables the wind turbine fins free rotation as it takes the weight of the motor housing container.
* Reference (C) is the hole which the load baring bearing is connected and the vertical axis passes through.
Figure 3 Diagram of wind turbine.
* Reference (A) is a one way mechanism cog which the motor sprocket is attached to.
This is useful as it removes resistance when the motor is not operating, as it free wheels in the opposite direction. It also makes the wind turbine work correctly by not allowing it to rotate in the opposite direction.
* Reference (B) is the base for the motor, has a simple rotational bearing which the vertical axis of the turbine passes through.
* Reference (C) motor sprocket.
* Reference (D) a simple bracket which motor sprocket shaft goes through. It has a spherical bearing which the shaft passes through it keeps the motor the right distance from the one way system cog although the motor is attached to the base.
* Reference (B) Motor * Reference (F) a simple rotational bearing connected to the base of the container.
* Reference (H) are the blades of the wind turbine.
* Reference (I) is a load baring bearing. This supports the load of the components attached to the vertical axis.
* Reference (J) is a simple rotational bearing connected to the inside of the generator discs container.
* Reference (K) is a mechanism disc. This is connected to (Fig 6) via a cable. This is what makes the wind turbine possible. As the motor is only two thirds of the magnetic strength of the generator discs, this mechanism disc provides the extra push to break the one third resistance which is greater than the motor strength.
* Reference (L) is the disc which enables the conduit cable to be connected to the top generator disc.
* Reference (M) is the top generator disc. It is made up of 9 magnetic coils spaced equally on a circular disc of twelve inches. Each disc produces two hundred and sixteen volts.
* Reference (N) is a one centimetre plastic disc. This keeps the disc sufficiently apart to break the magnetic field enough to enable the discs to rotate. There is still enough magnetic current to create electricity.
* Reference (0) is the bottom generator disc. This also produces two hundred and sixteen volts.
* Reference (P) is the solenoid which when activated brings the bottom generator disc within operating distance when the turbine is switched on. There are three solenoids in a triangular formation supporting the disc.
* Reference (Q) is the conduit cable connected to the bottom generator disc.
Figure 4 Is the rotation mechanism disc. The outer of this is attached to the inner of rotational bearing (Fig 5, Ref B) * Reference (F) is the one way mechanism cog which is attached to the vertical axis of the wind turbine. The mechanism disc goes around this.
* Ref(A) is the fixed pin of the rotation mechanism disc which is engaged to the one way system cog.
* Ref(B) is the point at which the cable which when pulled rotates the mechanism disc is attached.
* Reference (C) is the cable which rotates the mechanism disc when Figure 6 is operated.
* Reference (D) is the hook to which the compression spring is attached. This spring pushes the disc back to start point when it has rotated a quarter of a revolution.
* Reference (E) is the compression spring which returns the mechanism disc back to start point.
Figure 5 Is the top of the mechanism disc.
* Reference A is the outer part of the top of the disc. This is attached to the outer of the bearing and is attached to the inner wall of container (Figi Ref B) to provide a fixed pivot point for the disc.
* Reference (B) is where figure 4 is attached.
* Reference (C) is the hook to where the compression spring is attached, from (figure 4 ref D).
* Reference (D) is the hole for the cable to pass through.
Figure 6 This is the button which operates the disc mechanism.
* Reference (A) the disc which covers the top of the button.
* Reference (B) is the outer of the button.
* Reference (C) is the hole which the cable is passed through which is attached to the mechanism disc.
Figure 7 This is the shaft which makes up the button.
* Reference (A) is the disc at the top of the button. This is attached to the outer wall of the rotational bearing (Fig 7, Ref B) this enables the shaft to rotate when it is being pushed.
* Reference (C) is a cork screw pattern from top to bottom this rotates the cylindrical disc (Fig 8) by allowing the pin (Fig 8, Ref C) to travel in it.
* A spring is attached to the bottom of (Fig 7) this spring is attached to the inside base of the button (Fig 9).
Figure 8 * Is the cylindrical disc to which the cable which rotates the mechanism disc is attached to.
* Reference (B) is a rotational bearing which allows the cylindrical disc to rotate when driven by (Fig 7) via (fig 8, Ref C). The outer part of rotational bearing (Ref B) is attached to the inner wall of (Fig 9).
Figure 9 This is the casing for the button which is made up of Fig 7 and Fig 8.
Figure 10 Shows how the turbine blades shape is made up by attaching it as shown to the base disc of turbine.
Figure 11 This better illustrates the shape of the turbine blades when attached as described by Fig 10.
Figure 12 Shows the shape of the wind turbine blade.
* Reference (A) shows the outer point of the turbine blade. This increases the wind surface area whilst reducing backward wind resistant.
* Reference (B) shows the reduction of the spherical shape of the wind turbine blade this reduces the backward wind resistance as there is less surface area.
* Reference (C) is the bottom of the turbine blade when attached as described by (Fig 10) gives the turbine blade a semi circular shape.
* Reference (D) is inner point of the turbine blade and is attached to the vertical axis of the turbine.
Figure 13 Shows how the conduit cable will be attached to the top magnetic coils disc.
* Reference (A) is the disc to which the connections of the live and neutral are made.
The disc does not rotate and is attached to the outer wall of the container (Figure 1, Reference B).
* Reference B is the magnetic coils disc; this makes the live and neutral connection via copper finger connectors.
Figure 14 Is a top view of the magnetic coils disc.
* Reference (A) shows the copper finger connectors. This allows the disc free rotation while still making contact for electricity to be transferred.
Figure 15 Shows the face view of the disc that makes the conduit cable connection to the top generator disc. It shows the copper ring track for live and neutral wire. The track is broken into nine equal parts. The gap between each part reduces the electro magnetic build up which allows the motor to operate more effectively.
* Reference (A) shows the copper ring track to which the live copper fingers of the generator disc connect to.
* Reference (B) shows the copper ring track to which the neutral copper fingers of the generator disc connect to.
Figure 16 Shows the way in which the motor housing container (Fig 1, Ref A) is accessible.
* Reference (A) shows that the top of the container can come off. It is fixed to the container via four screws. The lid is lined with rubber seal which gives a water tight finish when secured to the container.
* Reference (B) shows the bottom section of the container.
Figure 17 Show the generator discs container (Fig I, Ref B).
* Reference (A) is rubber attached to the outside edge. This gives a water tight seal on the container wall when the door is closed.
* Reference (B) is a small inner wall to which the Door closes on. This is at the top edge of the container as well. The door has rubber on three inside edges to give water tight finish.
* Reference (C) shows the lever buckle which keeps the container door closed.
* Reference (D) is the door of the generator discs container (Fig 1, Ref B).
