ABSTRACT:
A habitat friendly, wind energy system is disclosed for safely extracting usable energy from wind. Included are one or more concentrator wings that convert the dynamic pressure of wind into relatively lower static pressure and thereby induces a vacuum that draws wind into an area defined by the concentrator wings. The airflow regulation minimizes or prevents the stalling of, or the generation of a turbulent flow of wind over or between concentrator wings. Further included are multiple impellors, at least one power converter, a riser supporting these component pieces, all positioned within the area defined by the concentrator wings. Accordingly, one or more flow regulators are positioned to assist in promoting laminar flow across or between the concentrator wings and to reduce the dynamic pressure of wind on the riser to thereby increase efficiency of the system.
