ABSTRACT:
A tornado-type wind energy system is provided which is suitable for aircraft in flight or emergency use. Wind energy propels a turbine to provide shaft power to drive an electrical generator or the like. A vortex flow regime is produced downstream of the ram air driven turbine. The creation of a low pressure core draws ram air by the turbine at an increased rate, thereby generating greater shaft power to a load.
