Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for generating electricity by capturing wind induced by moving vehicles and a system therefor.
  • a fast moving vehicle compresses the air in the front of it and pushes the air from its sides thereby creating a vacuum at its rear and its sides as it moves forward. To fill up this vacuum a mass of airflow rushes into the sides and the rear.
  • the kinetic energy of the wind movement thus created can be used to generate electricity.
  • the moving vehicles inducing wind may be railway trains, or road transports or airplanes, transiting rail lines, road/express ways as well as the runways; to trap the mass air thrust created by the operations of airplanes at airports.

  • Each of the wind vane assemblies has a carrier member in a horizontal plane.
  • a plurality of elongated trough-shaped vanes are attached by fastener means to a point adjacent the ends of the support arms.
  • the front side of the trough-shaped vanes point outwardly substantially perpendicularly from the lateral attaching surface of the support arms.
  • Each of the trough shaped vanes have a longitudinally extending axis that makes an angle between 30 degrees and 60 degrees with the vertical axis that passes through the point of attachment of the back of the trough-shaped vane and the support arm.
  • the fixed wind powered electricity generation systems in use till now are dependent on wind direction and the force of the wind. But the wind is not available at all place and all time through out the year. Therefore, there exists an immense need of a system for generating electricity from wind induced by moving vehicles, trains or airplanes, which is available through out the year at various places and with sufficient force of wind.
