DESCRIPTION
TECH N ICAL FI ELD AN D BACKGROU N D OF TH E I NVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is an apparatus in the field of wind turbine and solar energy generators. The invention is a cost effective way to utilize pre-existing infrastructure, poles and lampposts already built along urban and rural roads and freeways, and even on horizontal windmill stems or bridge and pier foundations in its underwater version.
2. Background of the Invention
There is a need to provide a turbine that can be mounted on existing infrastructure and provide energy to an existing power grid, a turbine that does not absorb much volume of space, and is placed near roads and freeways to generate electricity to commuters with electric vehicles. The proximity to passing traffic makes it cost effective to connect one or more apparatuses to a charging station for electric vehicles.
3. Summary of the Invention
A vertical apparatus mounted on and around poles, masts, bridge foundations, lampposts and other narrow axis infrastructure common in urban and non-urban areas. The apparatus generates solar sourced electricity from photovoltaic cells covering its surface, and from high and low wind or water streams, even from low force wind turbulence from passing cars. The apparatus is remotely administered to enable single or collective distribution of electricity to a power grid infrastructure or a ground based charging station for vehicles and other electrical devices. The apparatus functions under water to generate electric power from tidal or river streams.
• The invention generally relates to the field of wind and water turbines, more particularly
modular windmills and watermills.
• Windmills can be designed with either a horizontal or vertical rotation axes. In general, vertical windmills have a major advantage over horizontal axis windmills because they utilize wind from any direction and can be mounted on a flat surface or a pole.

The rotor position must be facing the wind to function efficiently. A significant amount of wind is not captured by the rotors and subsequently not converted into electricity, especially under low wind conditions.
• Conventional horizontal axis windmills generally have a large overall construction surface. They require considerable cubic space to operate, both in height and rotating radius on a large footprint. Also, their design generally consists of many parts that make them costly to maintain. They do not self-start but need to be started with an electrical motor and they do not operate efficiently under low or high wind conditions. Due to operational noise and vibration, they are placed away from human habitation where they pose an environmental threat to birds and wildlife.
• Windmills generate electrical power for private or public use either by connecting to a power grid infrastructure or by operating as an independent off grid power source. The location of a wind turbine on or wrapped around existing infrastructure of a live power grid, such as light poles, is more feasible for vertical axis turbines than conventional axis windmills. Vertical axis turbines can be affixed to the vertical foundation structure, i.e. the stem, of streetlights, spotlights, radio and GSM towers, or other vertical support fixtures of electrical construction already connected to the power grid.

ELECTRIC GENERATOR
1. How an Electrical Generator Works
The standard definition of an electrical generator states "It is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electric energy." or in fact "a device used to convert magnetic energy into electrical energy." Below this will be explained. A commonly used electrical generator is based on the principles of "electromagnetic induction" discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday, a British
scientist. Faraday discovered that if an electrical conductor, like a copper wire, is moving spatially through a magnetic field, electric current is being induced in the conductor. A reciprocal rule is also applicable since it is possible to move a magnet while the conductor remains still or to move both a magnet and a conductor and still electrical current is being induced. It is obvious that in this case the magnetic energy of a moving magnet is converted to electrical energy of the current that flows in the wire.
2. Faraday's Law
Any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of electrically conductive wire will cause a voltage (EMF - Electro-Motive Force) to be "induced" in the coil. It does not matter in what way the change is produced, the voltage will still be generated. A necessary change of the magnetic environment could be produced by varying the magnetic field strength by means of moving a magnet toward or away from the coil, moving the coil into or out of the magnetic field, rotating the coil relative to the magnet, etc.
Faraday's law is a fundamental relationship that is considered by Maxwell's equations. It serves as a succinct summary of the ways a voltage (or EMF) could be generated by a changing magnetic environment. The induced EMF in a coil is equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic field strength times the number of turns in the coil. Faraday law in its definition involves the interaction of charge with magnetic field. To put it simply a stronger magnetic field variation and more turns of a coil will produce stronger EMF. When an EMF is generated by change in strength of the magnetic field according to Faraday's Law, the polarity of the induced EMF is such that if the coil is connected to an electrical load or if it is short-circuited, an electrical current will flow and the magnetic field will be produced by it. The induced magnetic field will oppose the magnetic flux change that produced it.
co o a w re mov ng nto magnetic e is one example The minus sign denotes Lenz's Law of an EMF generated according to Faraday's Law. The Current EMF is the term for generated or induced will create a magnetic field which opposes the buildup induced voltage.
of magnetic field in the coil.
Therefore, the induced magnetic field produced by the coil of electrically conductive wire always acts in such a way as to keep the magnetic flux in the coil constant. In the examples below, if the B field strength is increasing, the induced field acts in opposition to it and that practically means that those two magnetic fields are repelling each other. If the B field strength is decreasing, the induced magnetic field acts in the direction of the applied magnetic field in order to try to keep it constant and that practically means that those two magnetic fields are attracting each other. The rotor is going to slow down its rotation in both cases if we do not invest more mechanical energy to the input.
The efficiency-wise Lenz's law is the most disadvantageous physical occurrence in electrical generator operation since it introduces interdependency (or rather reciprocity) of the electrical load on the output side and mechanical energy on the input side needed to maintain constant EMF. In other words the more output energy is taken from the generator (more Wattage) the more mechanical energy is required from the source of mechanical motion (water stream energy, wind energy, various engines etc.). So, apart from the obvious losses in mechanical power transmission and friction loses that cannot be avoided, Lenz's law is the physical occurrence that is solely responsible for the entire mechanical energy requirement of any electrical generator from which the electrical energy is taken. If Lenz's law could somehow be nullified, circumvented or compensated, the electrical generators could achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency.
3. Non-reciprocal electrical generator
As we already explained in the section on Lenz's law, a truly efficient electrical generator should be non-reciprocal. A reciprocal or 'two-way" device is always introducing a mechanical load on the input and thus it is causing a power loss in the electrical generator equivalent to the power gain. Now, let us clarify the term "reciprocal". Most systems that are commonly used in everyday life and engineering practice are reciprocal by their very nature. That means that the energy relationshi between output and input is reversible.
