Problems solved by technology

[0011] In summary, the disadvantages of the known turbines of the prior art, especially the known wind turbines, include the need for light weight, and thus fragility, and the inability to utilize high wind speed environments with very high production capacities due to this construction
Also, there is no cooperation between wind blades other than a basic string / cord arrangement that would control the opening and closing of the blades in all wind conditions, nor does it provide cooperation at all between multiple wind blades
Additionally, existing installations must be stopped when wind exceeds design limits or when gust conditions exist

Embodiment Construction

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the invention utilizes Figure 1-7 The example shown is illustrative. refer to figure 1A turbine arrangement 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a torque arm 12 and a pair of turbine blades 14 (preferably of the symmetrical clamshell type). The turbine blade 14 includes an upper half 16 and a lower half 18 which, when in a closed state, present a streamlined aerodynamic shape to the fluid. That is, the halves 16 and 18 are connected on their insides to the torque arm 12 so that when closed and leaving the outside free and unobstructed, such a connection is covered by the aerodynamic shape, which will Discussed in more detail below. Additionally, in the preferred embodiment, the upper half 16 and the lower half 18 of the clamshell turbine blade 14 are symmetrical and mirror opposite of each other.

[0025] Such as figure 1 As shown, a pair of torque arms 12 supports two pairs of oppositely positioned turbine blad...

Abstract

A turbine system (10) for capturing energy from a fluid stream includes a torque arm (12). At least a pair of, preferably symmetrical clam shell, turbine blades (14) with the upper (16) and lower (18) halves are oppositely connected to the torque arm (12). A coordinating system (46) is connected to the symmetrical clam shell turbine blades (14). The coordinating system (46) further comprises a first system (48) and second system (52). The first system (48) is connected to control and regulate opening and closing of the upper (16) and lower (18) halves of each individual clam shell turbine blade (14). The second system (52) is connected between each pair of the symmetrical clam shell turbine blades (14) so that as one clam shell turbine blade (14) closes the opposite clam shell turbine blade (14) is forced open.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved turbomachine arrangement and method. In particular, the present invention relates to a turbine device for harvesting energy from a fluid flow. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a wind turbine arrangement. Background technique [0002] In order to transfer energy from fluid streams, a wide variety of turbine devices have been developed. Ancient waterwheels and windmills proved to be an ancient quest by humans to ease the burden of manual labor by gaining power from moving fluids. Human efforts to harvest useful energy from wind and water have covered a broad field of methods and applications. Historically, by way of example only and not limitation, many advances have been made based on human experience with sailing boats. Early efforts to harvest wind energy on land used sails made of fabric stretched over some wooden frames to provide a larger and lighter surface against which the moving air int...
