American Wind Energy Association publishes 20% wind energy report, which is a goal that the USA will realize using 20% of wind energy to generate power until 2030. The whole level of American wind power generation is stepping into a new stage. Here are ten designs of wind powered turbines that beyond our imagination.
1, the wind powered turbine with gear-shaped blades
Walepower Co. redesigns the traditional smooth blades of wind powered turbines, adds a group of gears in the nodules like the fin of a whale. Walepower says this new blade design can increase 20% of power generating capacity per year.
2, Improved wind powered turbines
This kind of wind powered turbines are designed in particular for cites with low wind speed and variable direction.
3, the wind tower style wind powered turbines
The wind tower style wind powered turbines is a kind of vertical wind powered turbine, which is similar to improved wind powered turbine. It is 30 feet high, 4 feet wide, and can generate 2000 thousand watt power at the wind speed of 12 miles per hour, and can work well even at the speed of 105 miles per hour.
4, wind powered turbines
Air rotor turbine is similar to a spaceship, is a power generation in high latitude, with full of nitrogen inside so that it can keep floating at maximum of 1000 feet high in the air.
5, the bellows type wind powered turbines
A Bellow is a small-scale wind powered turbine system, invented by Sean eph Ryan. It can generate 40 milliwatts at the speed of 10 miles per hour at the cost of a few US dollars, aiming at helping not much rich area use safe and convenient wind power.
6, Honeywell wind powered turbines
Honeywell is a kind of wind powered turbine installed in the roof, and can work at the speed of at least 2 kilometers per hour. Honeywell doesn't have gears; instead, it generates power depending on the peripheral magnetic force.
7, We POWER wind powered turbines
We POWER is a kind of vertical axis wind powered turbine, and can work quietly and have a good performance at low wind speed. WePOWER combines lift theory and drag theory together to work.
8, Spiral wind powered turbines
Spiral wind powered turbine is a kind of vertical axis wind powered turbine with an involutes' type spiral structure. It uses drag force to push blades to work.
9, wind powered turbines in buildings
Wind powered turbines in buildings are kinds of small wind powered turbines, and can be established in the corner of the top of buildings. When wind meets the building, the resistance accelerates the air flow, and the wind rises along the building directly. These wind powered turbines can catch the wind.
10, the snake in sky style wind powered turbines
This is a kind of wind powered turbine which makes rotors attached in a single power generation. It has enough space and angles so that every rotor can catch instantaneous wind.
