Definitions

  • wind turbine The field of the present disclosure generally relates to wind turbines, and turbine blade designs.
  • wind turbine is used.
  • wind turbine is not limited to turbines moved by the wind, but includes turbines rotated by any moving fluid.
  • Savonius-type turbines Due to their large size, horizontal axis wind turbines, which can be over 100 meters tall, are mechanically complex and can be dangerous to operate near populated areas because the long blades are subject to high speeds and large stresses, and occasionally, fracture and break.
  • Savonius-type turbines have two or more elongate blades rotating about an axis that may be horizontally or vertically aligned.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 7,132,760 describes a Savonius-type wind turbine where the axis may be vertically or horizontally aligned.
  • Savonius-type turbine blades are arranged so that the long axis of each blade generally extends along the axis of blade rotation.
  • Savonius-type wind turbines started out being pure drag machines, that is, operating due only to differential drag on the curved, elongate blades.
  • the "cupping" effect of the wind on the concave side of one blade produces greater drag than the impact of the wind on the convex side of another blade.
  • the greater drag from the "cupped” wind causes the blade set to rotate and is used to harness power from the wind, albeit inefficiently.
  • Savonius-type wind turbines are relatively small, are mechanically simpler, and operate in a broad spectrum of wind speeds - for example, but not limited to, 1 to 4 meters per second - to heavier winds - for example 45 meters per second and higher. Savonius-type wind turbines are therefore well suited for use near and in populated areas, as well as remote locations.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,494,407 discloses non-twisted blades with a cross section that is curved then straight.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,784,568 discloses non- twisted blades with a cross section resembling the cross section of a wing from a light aircraft.
  • U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2007/0104582 discloses non-twisted blades with a complexly curved cross section that is a computerized optimization to increase torque output from the blades depicted in the '568 patent.
  • each of these non-twisted blade designs attempts to increase the amount of power extracted from the wind, they exhibit a differential wind load which causes a pulsating torque.
  • the differential wind load is due to the fact that the entire length of each non-twisted blade alternately moves into and out of the wind as the blade assembly rotates. That is, each blade moves through four distinct positions as it rotates. The distinct positions are (1) fully broadside to the wind path producing resistance that contributes to torque, or "cupping," (2) a lee position where the blade is edgewise to the wind direction and substantially out of the wind, (3) fully broadside to the wind path producing resistance that counters torque, and (4) a windward position where the blade is edgewise to the wind direction and substantially in the wind.
  • twist blades present a substantially constant surface area to the wind as the rotor assembly turns and therefore exhibit a lesser pulsing torque than the previously described non-twisted blades.
  • twisted blades are complex to fabricate as they have a twist along a longitudinal axis. Many twisted blades are made from a flat material which is twisted into a helix.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross sectional view of a preferred embodiment taken at the surface of a rotor assembly plate.
  • Fig. 2 is a side perspective view of a wind turbine blade configuration having blades with the cross section of Fig. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a side perspective view of the wind turbine blade configuration of
  • Fig. 2 with the blades rotated about a central axis by 90 degrees.
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the cross-sectional profile for blade 10 illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • Embodiments discussed below may address and solve certain problems related to harnessing power from a moving fluid using a Savonius-type turbine with high efficiency and a smooth torque profile.
  • a Savonius-type turbine with high efficiency and a smooth torque profile.
  • One with ordinary skill in the art will realize that the following discussion is illustrative and intended to describe preferred embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention to the embodiments discussed.
  • the described embodiments, as well as other embodiments, have numerous applications where a wind, or other fluid, turbine is employed, and may be scaled and adapted to many applications in view of the description that follows.
  • the above needs, and others may be overcome by employing wind turbine blades with asymmetric cross sections that are also formed into a helix along the length of the blade. In certain embodiments, the cross sectional profile remains uniform over the length of the blade.
  • a preferred embodiment is formed using two blades held between two rotor plates.
  • Each blade has an asymmetric cross sectional profile defining a leading edge first curved section, for example a convex curve, with a first radius.
  • a substantially linear intermediate section is tangent to the first section, and is also tangent to a trailing edge second curved section.
  • the second curved section has a radius which is less than the radius of the first curved section.
  • a longitudinal, generally helical twist is preferably 180 degrees from end to end, and both the leading edge and the trailing edge exhibit the generally helical twist.
  • each blade lies on an opposite end of a first diameter of a circle, and the trailing edge of each blade is located past a second diameter of the same circle which bisects and is orthogonal to the first diameter.
  • Grooves in each of the rotor plates match the cross sectional profiles of the blades and hold the blades in place when the rotor plates are urged towards one another.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a wind turbine blade arrangement 5 comprising turbine blades 10, 10'.
  • the wind turbine blades 10, 10' cross section is taken at the surface of rotor plate 200 showing the ends of the blades 10, 10'.
  • the cross section is substantially uniform throughout the length of each blade 10, 10'.
  • rotor plate 200 is illustrated as circular, embodiments are not limited to circular rotor plates as the rotor plate 200 may be any substantially symmetrical shape.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate two rotor plates in the preferred embodiment, however other embodiments may utilize only one rotor plate.
  • the cross sectional profile is rotated and moved across diameters 110 and 120.
  • leading edge 21 is rotated and moved to the same position as leading edge 21 '(Fig. 1), but on rotor plate 300 (Fig. 2) instead of on rotor plate 200.
  • trailing edge 41 is rotated and moved across diameters 110 and 120 so that trailing edge 41 is located at the same position as trailing edge 41 ', but on rotor plate 300 (Fig. 2) instead of rotor plate 200.
  • Modifying the cross- sectional profile for example, but not limited to, altering the curvature of sections 20, 20' and 40, 40', the distance between leading edges 21 , 21 ' and trailing edges 41 , 41', and the angular offset between the leading edge 21 , 21' and the trailing edge 41 , 41' (that is, the difference in the distance leading edge 21 , 21' is located from diameter 110 and the distance trailing edge 41 , 41' is located from diameter 110) may modify the angles of attack that produce a lifting, torque-producing force.
  • Edge-wise wind also encounters a trailing edge 41 or 41 ' and creates a drag, counter-torque force opposite to the lifting, torque-producing force. Due to the cross sectional profile of blades 10, 10', the lifting, torque-producing force is stronger than the drag, counter-torque force which causes the rotor assembly 5 to turn in a clockwise direction indicated by arrow "R.”
  • the generally helical twist for blades 10, 10' preferably rotates one end of a blade approximately 180 degrees, so that front side 60 or 60' faces in one direction at one end of blade 10 or 10', and in an opposite direction at the other end of blade 10 or 10' as seen in Fig. 2, for example.
  • the generally helical twist also longitudinally offsets the two ends of blades 10, 10' so that when viewed from direction "V" (Fig. 1), the two blades 10, 10' form a general shape of an "X" (Fig. 2).
  • the degree of twist and blade end offset may be modified, for example to accommodate a different number of blades, fluid density or prevailing fluid speed.
  • each blade 10, 10' is rotated through approximately 180 degrees in a longitudinal direction, that is between rotor plates 200 and 300, an approximately equal amount, or percentage, of front sides 60, 60', back sides 70, 70', leading edges 21 , 21' and trailing edges 41 , 41 ' encounter the oncoming wind at all times. Because the amount, or percentage, of front sides 60, 60', back sides 70, 70', leading edges 21 , 21' and trailing edges 41 , 41 ' encountering the oncoming wind remains substantially constant as rotor assembly 5 rotates in direction "R" (Fig. 1), the amount of torque-producing and counter-torque forces created by blades 10, 10' remains substantially constant (assuming a relatively constant fluid flow).
  • the location of where the torque-producing and counter-torque forces are generated changes longitudinally between rotor plates 200 and 300. For example, and assuming wind blowing in direction "V" (Fig. 1), more torque-producing drag is produced at the ends of blades 10, 10' in Fig. 2, whereas more torque-producing drag is produced at the middle of blade 10' in Fig. 3.
  • V wind blowing in direction
  • Fig. 1 more torque-producing drag is produced at the ends of blades 10, 10' in Fig. 2
  • more torque-producing drag is produced at the middle of blade 10' in Fig. 3.
  • the longitudinal transition is relatively smooth and does not introduce substantial vibrations to the wind turbine. Because the torque-producing forces are a result of both lift and drag, the blades 10, 10' are also efficient at harnessing power from a moving fluid.
  • the cross sectional profile described below may be modified to meet anticipated fluid speeds and densities including, but not limited to, modifications to the curvatures, including the generally linear portion, the distance between leading and trailing edges, and the location of the leading edge with respect to the trailing edge, for example.
  • the cross section of blade 10 is configured to provide a relatively strong lift component at various wind speeds ranging from light winds to heavy winds.
  • the cross section of blade 10 is also configured to provide a strong "cupping” or “catching” effect to maximize the amount of drag, torque-producing forces causing the blade assembly 5 to rotate in a clockwise direction, indicated by arrow "R.”
  • the rotation direction may be reversed by altering the orientation of blades 10 and 10'.
  • the cross sectional profile for blades 10 and 10' are identical in the preferred embodiment. [0034] Referring to Figs. 1 and 4, a preferred cross sectional profile is described.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates a blade 10 which is drawn to scale. The units are preferably metric, and preferably expressed in centimeters, however Fig.
  • leading edge first curved section 20 is a portion of a circle with a substantially constant radius. In the embodiment depicted in Figs. 1 and 4, the first curved section 20 has a non- dimensional radius of 8.5 units.
  • Leading edge first curved section 20 has a leading edge 21 and is tangent to a substantially linear intermediate section 30 at the end of the arc opposite leading edge 21.

  • the preferred blades 10, 10' are designed to simultaneously induce a relatively strong relatively smooth lift torque- producing component as well as a relatively strong, relatively smooth drag torque- producing component and a relatively smooth counter-torque component.
  • Counter- torque forces are inherent in Savonius-type turbines, and can be minimized, but not eliminated.
  • the preferred blades 10, 10' may reduce counter-torque components, for example, but not limited to, reducing the drag coefficient for the backsides 70, 70'.
  • By keeping the counter-torque forces relatively smooth certain embodiments introduce substantially less vibration than prior Savonius-type wind turbines.
  • the relatively smooth torque-producing and counter-torque forces may be due to the blades's 10, 10' cross sectional profiles, helical configuration, location with respect to one another or other factors.
  • Previous blade designs attempted to maximize torque or to reduce vibrations, but not to do both.
  • the preferred blades 10, 10' depicted in Figs. 1-4 may have lift advantages from an asymmetrical cross sectional profile design.
  • the blades 10, 10' exhibit simple curves that may be manufactured into a general helical twist along the length of the blades 10, 10' while maintaining substantially the same cross sectional profile along the length of blades 10, 10'.
  • the inventor recognized that previous asymmetric blade designs display complex curves across the cross sectional profile making them difficult to manufacture as a non-twisted blade, and even more difficult to form into a helix or other twist along a longitudinal axis.
  • Previous asymmetric blade designs also exhibit a variable thickness, for example being thicker at one end and thinning towards the other end. The inventor recognized that a variable thickness may also make a blade more difficult to manufacture into a helix.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are drawn to scale, and are described without limiting the preferred embodiment.

Many different dimensions and blade placements may be used while retaining the benefits of the described blade cross sectional profile and blade assembly arrangement. While the preferred embodiment is described with two blades 10 and 10', additional blades, for example three or four, or more, may be used as part of other embodiments and angular offsets for additional blades will be dictated by the number of blades.

  • the rotor plates 200, 300 are configured to retain blades 10, 10' in a specific relationship to one another to provide efficient and smooth wind turbine operation and to permit the blade assembly 5 to begin rotating regardless of the wind direction.

  • An alternate embodiment includes a shaft (not shown) extending perpendicularly between rotor plates 200, 300.
