ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting wind energy into heat in a manner that a wind turbine operates at its optimal tip speed ratio in varying windspeeds. An accelerometer is employed in conjunction with the wind turbine to vary the size of a discharge orifice in relation to the acceleration of the wind turbine. The wind turbine drives a positive displacement pump which is submerged in a fluid to force the fluid through the discharge orifice so that the energy of the pressurized fluid is converted into useful heat.
