ABSTRACT:
A pair of slightly vertically spaced and inclined large diameter tubular members extend between and open into a pair of plenum structures mounted on elevated portions of horizontally spaced apart natural or man-made structures between which natural wind currents flow at greater than average speeds. The lower air plenum structure includes an air inlet which opens into the wind and the upper air plenum structure includes an upwardly opening air outlet as well as power generating air turbine structure therein. The downwind sides of the large diameter tubes converge toward each other and a small diameter tube extends along the large diameter tubes on the downwind side thereof and is only slightly spaced from the external surfaces from the large diameter tubes. The lower end of the small diameter tube includes means for receiving air therein while the upper end includes means for discharging air therefrom into the higher air plenum structure. As the prevailing wind impacts against the windward side of the large diameter tubes, it is slightly compressed and moves through the narrow area defined between the large tubes with which the small diameter tube is registered. As the wind exits from the leaward side of the narrow area, the air thereof expands and absorbs heat from the small diameter pipe and causes moisture within the air flowing through the small tube to condense on the inner surfaces thereof and flow toward a drain at the lower end of the small tube.
