Abstract:
1. A wind driven turbine device comprising: (a) a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet; (b) a turbine rotor having a plurality of radially distributed turbine rotor blades mounted in the housing for rotation in response to atmospheric wind to thereby generate rotary power; (c) a baffle arrangement for directing wind through the housing from the air inlet to contact said turbine rotor blades as internal driving wind; (d) wherein said rotor is disposed in a manner such that the rotor blades are driven both by a combination of direct external wind and internally directed wind and wherein said internally directed wind encounters said blades in a direction opposite of said external wind; and (e) exhaust ports in said housing for exhausting said internally directed wind wherein said exhaust ports direct said internal wind out of the path of said direct external wind.
