Vertical Multi-Phased Wind Turbine System

Abstract

A rotational axis multi-phased wind turbine power generating system is disclosed. A differential pressure is created by utilizing the prevailing wind, and air from the prevailing wind is directed into air blades for the creation of power. Optimally, the air blades directly utilize the prevailing wind in combination with the created differential pressure to create power. An adjustable air scoop, adjustable exit drag curtain or barrier, orienting systems, and air flow directing dampers are disclosed.
