20130119661 | Horizontal Axis Radial Wind Turbine - A wind turbine and housing combination may include a horizontal axis radial wind turbine and a housing surrounding the turbine, the housing being incorporated with a cupola or gable roof of a building. The turbine may include an axle, a plurality of blade sections extending radially from the axle, and a generator operatively coupled to a first end of the axle. Each blade section may include a curved drag surface that provides a stall surface normal to the direction of an anticipated wind flow. The generator may be adapted to produce electricity when the axle is rotated. The housing may include a plurality of louvers and a motor operatively coupled to the plurality of louvers. Each louver may be capable of having (i) a closed position that prevents wind from entering the housing and (ii) an open position that permits wind to enter the housing. The housing may be adapted to be attached to an apex of a gable roof of a building. | 05-16-2013 |
20150161860 | Security System and Associated Methods - A self-powered security system includes a mounting pole having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The mounting pole is elongate along a longitudinal axis and defines a length between the first end and the second end. The self-powered security system also has a power generating subsystem mounted to the pole. The power generating subsystem includes a solar panel and a wind turbine. Additionally, the self-powered security system has a security subsystem mounted to the pole and powered by the power generating subsystem. The security subsystem includes at least one light and at least one camera. The self-powered security system also includes a control subsystem configured to control the at least one light and the at least one camera. | 06-11-2015 |
