Definitions

  • Fig l is a perspective view of a Rogallo wing with folded edges
  • Fig 2 is a perspective view of an array of Rogallo wings with folded edges
  • Fig 3 is a perspective view of an array of Rogallo wings supported between two support fins
  • support fins 52 are used to support an array 38 of interconnected Rogallo wings 10
  • Each of the arrays 38 of Rogallo wings may be supported by cables between supporting fins 52
  • the cables may further comprise at least first supporting cable 30 and second supporting cable 32, the Rogallo wings being supported between first supporting cable 30 and second supporting cable 32 (Fig 2)
  • Figs 4 - 9 the Rogallo wings are shown in operation with a turbine 50
  • a plurality of Rogallo wings may form the wing members of turbine 50
  • the embodiment illustrated shows a wind energy extraction apparatus comprising one or more concentrator wings 42
  • the concentrator wings 42 comprise Rogallo wings and react with a flow of wind to induce a drop in static air pressure that is then used to drive one or more impellors 44 and one or more power converters 72 shown encased in housing and connected to the one or more impellors 44
  • Arrays 38 of Rogallo wings are supported on support fins 52 connected to a fuse
