Abstract: The invention relates to a light floating flue consisting of a wall of fiber-reinforced film which rotates about its axis to balance the reduced pressure in the flue with the centrifugal force on the gases in the flue and with the flue wall. The flue floats due to the friction with the rising air, the upward force of the lighter gases, optionally a zeppelin and balloon-like bodies filled with helium or hydrogen. In order to prevent bending moments on the flue, the flue is attached to the base of the tower by means of a tillable bearing.

Abstract: Described herein is essentially a high-efficiency, hybrid fluid-aeolipile. In operation, this hybrid device is placed in the stream of a moving fluid, preferably air. Energy is extracted from the fluid stream by directing a portion of the stream through and, optionally, around the device. As the fluid-flow moves through the device, it is directed into nozzles. These nozzles, which are free to pivot in a cyclical manner, employ the established phenomenon of “nozzle-effect” to accelerate the velocity of the air-flow passing through them, which is ultimately ejected from each nozzle tip, producing thrust. This thrust, amplified by nozzle-effect, drives the nozzles to pivot around a shared axis. The wind energy, thereby converted into cyclical motion, that may be used to perform useful work, is converted with greater efficiency, than is possible in conventional blade-type wind turbines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a rotor with a hub and turbine blades, and further comprising a boundary layer control system for the turbine blades. A plurality of pressure chambers is located in the blade distributed over the length of the blade. Each pressure chamber is in communication with the outside of the blade through one or more corresponding openings in the outer surface of the turbine blade. Furthermore a suction channel and a blow channel extend inside the blade for supplying an underpressure and an overpressure respectively to the pressure chamber, each pressure chamber being connected to at least one of said channels through an air passage in which an actively operable valve is located. The valve is connected to a control unit for selectively bringing the pressure chamber into communication with or close it off from said channel(s) so as to blow air out of the pressure chamber or suck air into the pressure chamber through the corresponding opening(s) in the blade surface.

Abstract: A blade for a wind turbine includes a means for causing air at an increased velocity and/or pressure to escape from exit openings in the blade, thereby to apply a force that increases the rotational velocity of the blade. In one embodiment of the invention described a fan or vacuum in the blade causes an increase in the air velocity within a hollow air chamber in the blade. In another embodiment of the invention described, a compressor or one-way valve is used to increase the pressure of the air within the interior hollow air chamber. Pressure and diameter adjustable valves may be provided at each exit opening or orifice to allow the air to exit from the blade only when the air pressure within the blade exceeds a preset level. Also disclosed is the provision of valves at exit openings or orifices on an opposite edge of the blade that allows air to escape from the blade to slow down but not stop the rotation of the blade when a dangerous wind condition is detected.
