Patent ID: 10767622

Abstract:
A highly efficient wind turbine is used to generate electricity from wind. The highly efficient wind turbine includes a cowling, a turbine wheel, a support shaft, and an electricity-generating unit. The cowling is mounted around the support shaft and is used to protect the turbine wheel and channel wind. The turbine wheel is mounted to the support shaft and generates rotational energy from wind. The electricity-generating unit is coupled to the turbine wheel and converts rotational energy from the turbine wheel into electricity. A front wind-channeling cone and a back wind-channeling cone are mounted on either side of the turbine wheel. The front wind-channeling cone directs wind towards the outside of the turbine wheel to maximize leverage. The back wind-channeling cone is used to reduce drag. A wind accelerator is mounted around the cowling and is used to optimize the efficiency of the turbine by accelerating airflow.
