New Age Wind Generation

By:  Timothy Dennis

Less intrusive to the environment, higher efficiency, less moving parts. This is the new age of wind generation

The turbine wheel system includes a rotor driven around an interior of the exoHOUSING, and a rail frame guiding a rotational movement of a turbine rotor. The turbine not only allows airflow to move across the wheel system, but also allows airflow to be directed and exhausted to maximize energy generation. It allows for the load generated to be distributed across the circumference of the turbine wheel instead of localized in the center as the traditional technology

The turbine wheel is the only major moving component allowing for reduced maintenance. Gearbox, yaw motors, and pitch control systems associated with conventional technology are eliminated

Distribution of Weight

Rotates on a rail supported by multiple bearing support stands around the perimeter of the wheel allowing for the load to be distributed around the circumference vs. localized in the center

Benefits of the System

• Raises the height profile of the exoPOWER turbine and exoHOUSING
• Industrial space can be created inside the hollow center
• Materials used are capable of withstanding earthquakes/seismic activities of 9.9 on the Richter scale and wind speeds of 300 miles per hour (480 km/hr).
• Redirects and influences the wind enhancing airflow improving power generation efficiency
• Turbines installed and operable in climates with hurricane/typhoon winds
• Levers automatically close at terminal wind velocity (no braking)
• Rotate at lower wind speeds (cut-in speed approx. 2-3 m/s)
• duces birds and other objects from striking
• Designed to blend into landscape/architecture
