Abstract

A Totally Enclosed Wind Powered Turbine For Producing Electricity

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
Accordingly, what is claimed is:  
     
         1 . Wind powered, totally enclosed turbine provided with: ambient air eco-system protection screen; and a spent air eductor device, which is also provided with an eco-system protection screen. Said turbine has the capability of converting 100% of the ambient air to work.  
     
     
         2 . Turbine of  claim 1 , wherein said turbine air intake need not be situated directly in the ambient air stream.  
     
     
         3 . Turbine of  claim 1 , wherein said turbine is totally enclosed, no moving parts exposed.  
     
     
         4 . Turbine of  claim 1 , wherein said turbine achieves the desired work by having its shaft speed increased or decreased by altering the operation of a spent air blower and weighted louvers.  
     
     
         5 . Spent air blower of  claim 4 , wherein said blower capacity is equal to or greater than that of the turbine of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         6 . Spent air blower and weighted louvers of  claim 4 , wherein the spent air blower in conjunction with the weighted louvers, function is to modulate the speed of the turbine of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         7 . Spent air blower of  claim 5 , wherein the spent air blower throughput is determined by the speed of the DC drive motor and the position of the weighted louvers.  
     
     
         8 . Weighted louvers of  claim 7 , wherein the position of the louvers depends on the pressure being exerted upon them by the spent air blower.  
     
     
         9 . Weighted louvers of  claim 7 , wherein the counter balance weight is calibrated to position the louvers closed when the spent air bower is not operating and to gradually open as the volume of air from the spent air blower increases. This action alters the differential pressure across the turbine, of  claim 1 , air inlet and air outlet.
