ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow energy conversion system is disclosed which employs a pair of vortex generators to focus the broad diffuse flow intercepted by each planform into concentrated vortices of higher energy density; turbines are oriented in the vortices to convert the vortex energy into mechanical energy to thus provide power output substantially higher than otherwise achievable by the turbines alone; the illustrative vortex generators are delta planforms deployed in mirror symmetric fashion with their apices adjacent to define the apex of a horizontal "V" configuration such that the apex points into the wind, the plane of symmetry aligns with the wind direction, and the angle of the "V" provides the required angle of attack for each planform relative to the wind axis. A three point mounting system employing a pivot near the apex and wheels adjacent the trailing edge, provides the required azimuthal mobility.
