Abstract

La présente invention a trait à un système de production d'énergie électrique embarqué captif qui peut utiliser une structure de cadre renforcée pourvue de surfaces portantes construites dans le cadre afin de maintenir des générateurs entraînés par des éoliennes qui sont à l'intérieur de la structure embarquée. Les rotors primaires utilisent le vent dominant afin de produire une vitesse de rotation. L'énergie électrique produite est renvoyée au sol à l'aide d'une amarre qui est également conçue pour attacher le système volant au sol. Le système volant est conçu pour pouvoir utiliser l'énergie électrique en vue de fournir de l'énergie aux turbines primaires qui sont utilisées en tant que moteurs pour soulever le système à partir du sol, ou le support de montage, dans l'air. Le système peut alors être soulevé dans un vent dominant et utiliser les surfaces portantes dans le système afin de permettre le soulèvement tandis que le système est amarré au sol. Les moteurs peuvent ensuite recommencer l'opération en tant que turbines pour la production d'énergie électrique. Le système peut être globalement plan du fait que les rotors de nombreuses turbines peuvent sensiblement se situer sur un ou plusieurs plans ou une ou plusieurs régions planes. Le système peut également être conçu pour être constitué de composants modulaires de manière à ce qu'une variété de nombres différents de turbines puisse voler, bien que le système puisse être sensiblement constitué de multiples éléments similaires.
