ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow power generating system is disclosed. The system includes a foil for accelerating the velocity of a fluid flow past said foil, to increase the fluid's kinetic energy. A turbine is located downstream of the foil, and at least partially behind the foil, and the turbine is driven by the fluid. The foil shields the upwind side of the turbine. A generator is also connected to the turbine for generating electrical energy. The turbine is mounted relative to the foil, so the position of the turbine relative to said foil can be adjusted to expose more or less of the turbine to the fluid flow. In one embodiment there are provided a plurality of individual systems which form a tower.
