FIELD: power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wind power engineering and may be used to produce wind energy and convert it into electrical, mechanical, thermal energy or their different combinations. Air flow is captured from wind and accelerated in a narrowing channel, and is supplied into a device with a water jet by a pump, where water and air flow is produced. The water-air flow is accelerated to supersonic speed, and is then turned into subsonic water-air flow of the fuel. Energy is extracted from the specified subsonic flow in the turbine, and then the flow arrives into the receiving reservoir, where water and air are separated. The residual pneumatic energy of the separated compressed air is additionally converted into electrical or mechanical energy. The residual thermal energy of compressed air and water is used accordingly for air and water heating or hot water supply.
EFFECT: usage of the invention makes it possible to exclude a blade wind turbine, to reduce weight and dimensions of a device, to increase reliability and to ensure uninterrupted power supply to loads with various types of energies.
