Abstract:
1. A wind powered turbine assembly comprising: an enclosure that defines an interior space wherein the enclosure defines openings through which air can flow into the enclosure and wherein the interior space defines two adjacent vertical columns; a rotor having a plurality of fan blades positioned within the enclosure, wherein the rotor is mounted so as to have an axis of rotation that extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the airflow; a plurality of channels formed in the enclosure so as to direct air from the openings to the rotor wherein the plurality of channels are formed into an upper and a lower row and are bent so that the lower row of channels are routed into the first column and the upper row are bent so that the upper row are routed into the second column and wherein the columns direct the channels to the rotor; and wherein the enclosure defines an exhaust stack that extend out of a top surface of the enclosure from which air can be extracted from the enclosure after inducing the rotor to rotate wherein a flange extends about the exterior surface of the exhaust stack opening to shelter the rotor from external air flow and to create a negative pressure to draw air out of the interior space of the enclosure.
