ABSTRACT:
A device for generating rotating shaft power from atmospheric air includes an airfoil. A partition is disposed within the airfoil along the length thereof. The partition forms an upper chamber and a lower chamber within the airfoil. The partition includes an aperture creating a fluid communication path between the upper and lower chambers. The leading edge of the airfoil includes an aperture disposed adjacent to the lower chamber. The top surface of the airfoil includes an aperture disposed adjacent to the upper chamber. A turbine is disposed within the partition aperture, and is adapted to be driven by fluid pressure entering the leading edge aperture of the airfoil and exiting the top surface aperture of the airfoil.
