20090257880 | Conical helicoid wind turbine - The present invention discloses an article of manufacture comprising a conical helicoid wind turbine. The conical helicoid is configured such that its apex faces toward the on-coming wind which allows airflow to transverse through the curved sail from the front center to the outer rear extremity. This dynamic shape produces the optimum amount of force by distributing the wind load to the outer edges of the wind turbine's rotation. In addition, by channeling the flow of air through the conical helix to convert to motive force, the turbine forces the wind into a vortexual formation which entrains wind flow in tandem with the turbine's rotational force, thus reducing backflow turbulences. | 10-15-2009 |
