ABSTRACT:
A wind driven electric power generator having a shroud arranged in a path of fluid flow. Within the shroud is disposed a stationary shaft supporting a wind generator assembly. The shroud can be the veil of a conventional cooling tower, with the wind generator assembly including a rotor connected to an electric generator arranged for converting rotary motion of the rotor to electrical energy, thus saving some of the energy created by the natural draft passing up the veil of the cooling tower. Space frame box trusses provided with airfoils provide lightweight arms for the rotor, with the rotor being arranged anywhere in the shroud. When a hyperbolic cooling tower veil is used as the shroud, the rotor will usually be positioned in the throat of the veil.
