Abstract

In a first embodiment, a wind to energy conversion system is constructed out of a number of modular power units (110), each modular power unit (110) comprised of 36 air jet tunnels (106). Each air jet tunnel (106) is constructed using a cantilever array mounted in a cascaded frame (104) with each cantilever (102) attached on one edge to a window edge of the frame (104). The cantilever (102) is constructed of a brass (130) layer sandwiched between two layers, each layer composed of an electrode (126) attached to a Poly Vinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) (128) layer. Each modular power unit (110) is mounted in a case (108), and a set of cases are mounted in a panel (114) attached to a pedestal (116). The cantilever arrays (117) are wired together into electrical regulating circuits that generate power with a high wind to power conversion efficiency. Other embodiments are presented.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 378,068 filed Aug. 30, 2010 by the present inventors. This provisional patent application is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates generally to generating electrical power from wind motion energy.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] Current wind power generators generally employ wind turbines and electric motors to generate electricity. These systems are inefficient and expensive to construct and maintain. They are also noisy, intolerant to damage, and relatively difficult to transport and assemble1,2. They can also impose safety and environmental concerns. Unfortunately, a compact, modular, bladeless wind energy system does not exist although some approaches have been proposed. The potential advantages to its development include reduced noise, size, and cost combined with improved portability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.[0004...
