ABSTRACT:

The present invention concerns a wind engine device.
In particular, the invention concerns a device consisting of a wind power engine and means to increase the wind velocity towards the wind power engine when said wind velocity is low, whereby these means contain at least a first wind guiding element which narrows in a conical manner according to the direction in which the wind blows towards the wind power engine.
A wind engine device of this type is known from document U.S. Pat. No. 3,883,750. However, this document does not disclose a solution which makes it possible to provide for an optimal adjustment as a function of the wind velocities, i.e. an adjustment which makes it possible to increase the effect of the wind on the wind power engine in case of a gentle breeze and to diminish said effect in case of a strong breeze.
The invention aims a wind engine device which does not have the above-mentioned disadvantage and which is particularly efficient with low wind velocities as well as with high wind velocities.
To this end, the invention concerns a wind engine device consisting of a wind power engine and means to increase the wind velocity in the direction of the wind power engine when the wind velocities are low, whereby these means contain at least a first wind guiding element which narrows in a conical manner according to the direction in which the wind blows towards the wind power engine, characterized in that this device contains means which make it possible to diminish the wind velocity, the wind force respectively, on the place where the wind power engine is situated, which contain a second wind guiding element which joins the exit of the first element and which widens in a conical manner according to the direction in which the wind blows on the one hand, and adjustable means to move the wind power engine and the second wind guiding element in relation to one another, such that the wind power engine slides in further or less further in the second wind guiding element.
