Abstract: The present invention is a wind turbine having a set of curved blades mounted on a central rotatable hub. An enclosure surrounds and is attached to the tips of the blades. The enclosure is arranged to rotate with the hub and the blades. The blades have a fixed pitch such that a pitch angle of each of the blades at the tip end is from 50 degrees and 75 degrees to a rotational (central) axis of the hub. A pitch angle of each of the blades at a hub end is defined by a product of a ratio, of a hub radius divided by a turbine radius, multiplied by a pitch angle at the tip. The blade is provided with a compound curve that causes the blade to fall away from an angle of apparent wind (the angle of the wind seen by the moving blade) impinging upon the blade at a wind entry location of the blade. The turbine is further provided with an apparatus that controls speed of rotation of the turbine so that the angle of the apparent wind to the blades can be adjusted relative to the pitch angle of the blades to obtain at least 50% of maximum energy that can be extracted using the turbine.

Filed: 2012-09-18
Granted: 2016-01-12
Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus and method to uniformly disperse ozone gas bubbles into liquid phase water for the treatment thereof. The apparatus consists of a water inlet section connected with a section with structured packing or monolith having parallel flow channels. A portion of the influent water is withdrawn from the main water stream as a side stream, pressurized by a pump, mixed with ozone-containing gas, and then injected back into the main water flow. The side stream may be divided into multiple streams either before or after mixing with the ozone-containing gas, and then injected into the main flow section upstream of the packed section. In alternate embodiments, the ozone-containing gas can be injected directly through the gas diffusers just upstream of the packed section in order to achieve uniform concentration of gas and liquid in the fluid entering the monolith.
