Patent
·
OSTI ID:5160547
A wind power converter is described which comprises a pair of rotatable turbines with elongated curved blades disposed within a rotatable housing on axially parallel shafts, the curvature of the blades of one turbine being opposite to the curvature of the blades of the second turbine to that wind passing between the turbines will rotate the turbines in opposite directions; the housing comprising shaft-supporting sections at the ends of the turbines, lateral sections connecting the end sections, a pair of wind deflectors disposed between the end sections and extending from adjacent edges of the lateral sections toward the midpoint between the turbines and terminating approximately the same distance from each other as the distance between the turbine shafts, and a pivotally mounted vertically disposed vane extending from a portion of the housing opposite to the wind deflectors.
