High power wind turbine with kinetic accumulator
A high power wind turbine with kinetic accumulator is disclosed. The invention includes a circular wall, a wall turbine movably mounted to the circular wall so that it can be moved to face the wind, a non-linear generator connected to the wind turbine to generate electrical power, a fly wheel, and a drive wheel disposed in contact with the fly wheel to drive the fly wheel. A reversible non-linear motor is connected to the drive wheel to drive the drive wheel or to be driven by the drive wheel. The non-linear generator is connected to the reversible motor to rotate the drive wheel to rotate the fly wheel when the non-linear generator generates excess electrical power. The fly wheel rotates the drive wheel to drive the reversible motor to generate electrical power when the non-linear generator does not generate sufficient electrical power. 32 claims, 17 figures.
