METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING ELECTRIC POWER BY CONVERTING ENERGY OF COMPRESSED AIR FLOW Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F03D3/04 

FIELD: wind motors.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises wind-collecting device for the control of the direction of collecting of wind energy and compressing the air flow, deflecting device for reducing air drag of the wind-turbine device, and means for orienting which provides automatic control of the direction of the collecting of wind energy. The wind-collecting device has an arbitrary shape. The area of the cross-section of the inlet of the wind-collecting device exceeds that of its outlet for permitting enough aerodynamic force for rotation of the wind-turbine devices for weak natural wind. According to a two-tower version, one of the wind-generator towers is unmovable, and the other one is movable. The axis of the wind-generator tower is perpendicular to the ground surface. The wind-generator tower can be made of a rotation body with curved generatrix or a cylinder. The power is generated by the rotation of a number of wind-turbine devices mounted horizontally on the wind-generator towers one above the other.

EFFECT: expanded functional capabilities and enhanced efficiency.
