ABSTRACT:
A wind powered device incorporates a solar furnace and vortex generator to provide additional power and boost the efficiency of the complete system. Two concentric dome assemblies connected by a centrally located shaft are connected to a base with bearings capable of rotating the whole assembly 360.degree. about a vertical axis to allow it to turn into the wind. The two domes form a furnace, an inner dome providing insulation for a solar boiler and an exterior dome refracting the incoming sunlight onto the solar boiler. The solar boiler is located at the center of the inner dome and generates steam to drive fans positioned at the poles of the outer dome. The outer dome also functions as a wind powered rotor. Inlet vanes at the periphery of the dome are open to the atmosphere. The exterior of the dome is provided with trapezoidal or curved channels at regular distances parallel to the path of rotation. These channels effect lift by the venturi effect. They also channel the light to the center of the dome. Fans on the shaft evacuate air from the inside of the dome through openings located at the poles of the outer dome. As air is pulled through the outer dome and through the inlet vanes the outer dome will rotate. The system operates simultaneously as a solar furnace, a wind powered generator and as a vortex generator.
