Title: New wind turbine design based on tapering funnels
Inventor: KIERAN GREER
IPC: F03D13/20
Filed: 2014-12-29
Abstract: A wind turbine comprises a rotating bladed wheel that is centrally positioned within a housing that has inlets that take the form of a plurality of tapering funnels that direct the air flow from the wind onto the blades of the wheel; the tapering funnels increases the force of the wind power as it flows from the wider funnel inlet area positioned to the outside of the housing, to the much smaller outlet positioned inside the housing which directs the concentrated air flow onto the blades of the wheel. Preferably the funnel forms a tapering conical, and a set of funnels may be placed in series or parallel to each other, and in any position thereby allowing the wind turbine to be more effective when the wind direction changes or when the wind is swirling. The bladed wheel may be positioned either vertically on a mast or horizontally and moves a rotor shaft that powers a generator e.g. a turbine. The housing prevents the bladed wheel from being influenced from other wind sources, and has ventilation outlets to allow the release of incoming air. Preferably the bladed wheel and funnels are made from plastic.

Title: Active vibration control apparatus and method
Inventor: GEORGE PENG
IPC: G10K11/178
Filed: 2015-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to active vibration control apparatus 1 for a vehicle 2. The apparatus comprises a controller 7 including an electronic processor 10 having an electrical output for outputting a vibration control signal (SIG) to control operation of an actuator 8. The vibration control signal (SIG) is generated by combining a vibration-reducing signal (SIGv) that reduces one or more first vibration components, and a sound-generating signal (SIGs) that increases one or more second vibration components. The combined signal (SIG) is used to control actuation of the actuator (e.g. a shaker). The vibration-reducing signal (SIGv) could be generated using a signal from an accelerometer 9. In circumstances where some cylinders of the vehicles engine 5 are deactivated the apparatus may be used to actively modify vibrations in the vehicle to reduce a first component while increasing a second component so that the occupants do not notice changes to the functioning of the engine.
