The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for using wind energy to compress air or pressurize a fluid as a means of storing energy. Compressed air or pressurized fluid is generated directly by the wind turbines, thereby avoiding the energy losses that occur when wind power is used first to generate electricity to run an electrically powered air compressor. The compressed air or pressurized fluid is stored by means of expanding a volume at constant or nearly constant pressure. This method avoids energy losses that would otherwise result from compressional heating; while also allowing lower pressures to be employed, reducing the cost of the containment facility and avoiding the need to locate facilities in geographically favored locations where underground storage is available. The invention permits both large and small-scale storage at low cost per unit of energy stored, thereby avoiding the difficulty of using a highly variable and unreliable source of energy such as the wind for electrical power generation. The invention can be used for generation and storage on land, in shallow near-shore waters and in deep-water locations far from shore.

A “mutually definite units of energy for forced energy economy” (MDUFEE) gearbox family has simplified the shifting pattern of shifting mechanisms to cause a real gear dependence on mechanical inertia created by the weight of a load and a fast changeable resistant force in response to the movement. This gearbox is able to operate in a manual, semi-automatic or automatic regime. Each family of designs produces torques and overdrive speeds in a faltering geometric sequence that significantly reduces the power that a motorized vehicle or craft or machine tool needs of a power source from a ratio of highest revolution of its shaft to idle revolution. This is achieved by using the unique function to keep highest torque of power source shaft within its work process. Therefore, an existing power source could be replaced by power source with substantially reduced power when gearbox of a MDUFEE gearbox family has replaced an existing gearbox. Also, the new gearbox substantially limits or eliminates the need for conventional acceleration systems to control speed produced by power source for maximizing the reduced energy consumption, emission and wear of power source. In addition, the greater degree of control of power usage with a compound MDUFEE gearbox family leads to a dramatic increase in the maneuvering capability of a motorized object on land, water or air.
