Vertical Multi-Phased Wind Turbine System

US Patent:
7753644, Jul 13, 2010
Filed:
Jan 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/355411
Inventors:
Brett C. Krippene - Rimrock AZ, US
International Classification:
F03D 3/04
US Classification:
415 42, 415 44, 415127, 415147, 415 585, 415907, 416 9, 416244 R
Abstract:
A vertical axis multi-phased wind turbine power generating system is disclosed. An adjustable air scoop directs air from a first phase of the prevailing wind into an air turbine for efficient power generation. An exit section, which uses a second phase of the prevailing wind in combination with an optional and adjustable exit section drag curtain or barrier, provides for efficient re-entrainment of this first stage of power generating air back into the downstream prevailing wind. The adjustable air scoop and adjustable exit drag curtain or barrier, where utilized, is automatically rotated in a self correcting manner to be suitably and optimally oriented to the prevailing wind direction. The design provides for a second stage of power generation to be accomplished by additionally utilizing a portion of the second phase of prevailing wind to directly or indirectly drive the turbine in a second stage of power production.

Wind Energy Power Enhancer System

US Patent:
8403623, Mar 26, 2013
Filed:
Jan 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/352259
Inventors:
Brett C Krippene - Rimrock AZ, US
International Classification:
F03D 3/04
US Classification:
415 42
Abstract:
An enhanced multi-phased wind power generating system is disclosed that creates power from flow through an air inflow chamber and by second phase air flow that does not pass through the inflow chamber. In one embodiment, a turbine extends at least partially from the air inflow chamber whereby second phase air flow that may be directed, deflected or concentrated prevailing wind, may impinge the air blades to enhance the power generation of the system. In another embodiment, second phase air flow may be deflected by a configuration of air deflectors to create a low pressure over a flow tube to enhance power generation. Air deflectors and/or air scoops are described in any number of configurations to further increase and optimize power generation. In one embodiment an impingement chamber is attached to the inflow chamber and one or both chambers may comprise protective fencing material.

Vertical Multi-Phased Wind Turbine System

US Patent:
8459930, Jun 11, 2013
Filed:
Jun 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/488400
Inventors:
Brett C Krippene - Rimrock AZ, US
International Classification:
F03D 3/04
US Classification:
415 42, 415 44, 415116, 415127, 415147, 415220
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.

Vertical Wind Turbine System With Adjustable Inlet Air Scoop And Exit Drag Curtain

US Patent:
2007023, Oct 4, 2007
Filed:
Dec 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/608658
Inventors:
Brett Krippene - Rimrock AZ, US
International Classification:
F03D 7/06
US Classification:
415004200
Abstract:
A wind driven vertical axis power generating system is disclosed. An air scoop directs air from the prevailing wind into an air turbine. An exit drag curtain provides for an efficient re-entrainment of the power generating air back into the prevailing wind. The design provides for an efficient method of utilizing the energy from a prevailing wind. The air scoop and exit drag curtain may be rotated to be suitably oriented to the prevailing wind direction. The invention is visually pleasing in shape, as well as efficient in the production of useful power.
