ABSTRACT:
This invention is a wind energy catchment system using a central vertical shaft, the bottom end of which rotates and is secured to a rigid support fixed to the ground. The lower part of the shaft has radial arms secured to it, evenly spaced one from the other. The upper end of the shaft and the outer ends of the radial arms are all connected by cables or cords. The cables between the ends of the radial arms define a regular polygon; between it and the upper end of the shaft and the outside end of each radial arm and around the shaft, there are triangular, dihedral or trihedral sails all formed by triangular surfaces secured at their vertices. In all cases, the furthest external side of these sails is arranged between the top end of the shaft and the furthest external end of the associated arm, while the lower edge runs between the end of each arm and one or more points on the surface on the same plane as the radial arms. The bottom inside vertex of the triangular sails is secured to an intermediate point on the adjacent arm immediately ahead of it in the direction of rotation.
