Abstract:
1. A vertical rotating axis wind power generating system comprising: a. a power generating turbine, wherein said power generating turbine incorporates air blades that rotate about an axis that is aligned to said vertical rotating axis, b. an air scoop that directs air from the prevailing wind through a flow tube toward said air blades, wherein said flow tube is substantially aligned to said vertical rotating axis, c. wherein said air scoop is rotatable about a second axis that is approximately vertical, d. wherein said air scoop is oriented to the prevailing wind direction and directs air from the prevailing wind into said air blades in a manner to produce power according to a predetermined criterion, e. wherein the size and shape of said air scoop is fixed or varied in a manner to produce power according to a predetermined criterion, f. wherein the exit air from said air blades flows into an exit space, g. wherein said exit space allows the exit air from said air blades to reenter the prevailing wind, h. wherein said exit space is designed to allow the entry of the exit air from said air blades back into the prevailing wind to efficiently produce power according to a predetermined criterion, and i. wherein the prevailing wind enters said exit space, and said air blades are additionally designed to create power from part of the prevailing wind that enters said exit space, whereby said power generating turbine creates useful power.
