CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application is a National Stage Application of PCT/US2012/020100, filed on 3 Jan. 2012, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/429,307 filed 3 Jan. 2011, and which applications are incorporated herein by reference. A claim of priority to all, to the extent appropriate, is made. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION 
     This invention relates to a method and apparatus for fluidic flow capture and acceleration. More specifically, this application relates to a method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of fluidic flow conversion into electrical energy, while diminishing many reprehensible aspects. 
     BACKGROUND 
     There are many apparatus and methods for converting fluidic flows, such as wind and water, into electrical energy. One area many seem to be concerned about is urban wind exploitation. The current art lacks an effective method which is compatible with urban requirements. There is a great urgency in urban areas for many reasons. Some of the reasons include having the electrical infrastructure in place to move generated electricity to a wider area grid. Another reason includes meeting increasing demands for energy in the area where the demand is from. Urban requirements call for a system which is quietly inconspicuous, reliable, and highly productive. Of course, in addition to urban energy exploitation there may also be a need to exploit the wind or other fluids in non-urban areas. 
     While the potential benefits of urban power generation and especially onsite and domestic urban wind conversion present obvious advantages; the problems of noise, visual esthetics, siting uncertainty, and poor results at contextual urban elevations has severely limited or substantially all but banished wind conversion methods and apparatus from urban areas. 
     SUMMARY 
     This apparatus and method is a fluidic flow power converting and masking device which utilizes some of the enhancing principles of wind tunnel technology to maintain laminarity while capturing and accelerating fluidic flow. The inventive method and apparatus provides a neighbor-friendly, productive method for wind conversion. The invention presents a major change in wind conversion strategy as a fundamental, systemic shift in wind exploitation strategy. This is the focus of the apparatus and methods disclosed herein. It should be noted that the apparatus, in this application, is sometimes referred to as the Windjuicer apparatus. 
     The Windjuicer apparatus is directed to a class  2  machine that captures, refines and accelerates fluidic flows, especially naturally occurring flows and then focuses this hyper flow through any type of flow-to-energy converter, including commercial off-the-shelf (“COTS”) flow-to-energy converters. The apparatus includes a series of chambers and appurtenances that, while contributing discrete effects, act synergistically in conjunction to produce an intensified result. The results include a vast increase in the quantity of electrical production over that possible from the prior art, and a substantial elimination of noise leakage and neighborhood esthetic objections that are precipitated by many, if not all, current installations of prior art solutions. The intrinsic nature of the apparatus allows intense insulation and vibration isolation as well as visual obfuscation without impairment of production potency. This will become apparent from the following figures and their explanation in the following paragraphs. 
     According to one or more example embodiments in a primary installation situation, common architectural features integrate with the apparatus in the sound and visual obfuscation process. In one example embodiment of the invention, a gambrel or another similar roof structure hides the entire system within the confines of a gambrel or other standard roof structure to render the system virtually invisible and silent. Enabling shapes of the segments have been investigated and enabling dimensional interrelated proportions have been determined. Certain shapes and dimensions discussed and shown in the example embodiments set forth in the specification portion of this application are thought to be substantially optimized. Whereas these shapes and their proportional relationships are substantially optimal as to the current state of knowledge as known to the applicant, it should be noted that the example embodiments set forth below are examples. Accordingly, the applicant intends to encompass any presently existing or developed morphological dimensional relationships which improve performance. 
     These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, descriptions and claims.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     It is envisioned that this invention will be used primarily within an urban context. It should be understood that the concepts and embodiments described herein can also be adapted to non-urban environments. The initial application will be by installation via the conversion of urban homes. The refined version will be marketed as a discrete architectural design element of new homes and commercial buildings. The example embodiment detailed below involves an installation within a hypothetical house referred to as the mounting platform or platform. Through a process of proportional scaling, further applications will involve placement of modular embodiments on the top and sides of building towers. Further application will be integrated into walkway covers along the sides of commercial buildings. Other deployments will be within bridges, overpasses, billboards and streetlights. With augmentation and modification other incarnations will be used under water to convert currents and tidal forces into electrical power. The assemblage comprises a number of interacting elements which are unique and have therefore been given new characteristic terms for easy reference. The lexicon of original terms is given below:
         A fluidic flow redirecting and capturing means termed a ‘Fin Diverter’ or diverter;   a fluidic flow focusing means termed a ‘Focusing Chamber’;   a fluidic flow constricting means termed a ‘Compressing Chamber’;   a fluidic flow laminating and filtration means termed the ‘Streamlining’ assembly or streamliner;   a fluidic flow turbine enclosure means termed the ‘Extraction Chamber’;   a fluidic flow to energy converting means comprising either a non-rotational conversion device (“NRC”) or one of many available commercial off-the-shelf (“COTS”) turbine devices, which will be referred to as either a vertical axis turbine (“VAT”), horizontal axis turbine (“HAT”), or water axis turbine (“WHAT”);   a fluid flow sucking means termed a ‘Diffusing Chamber’;   a fluidic flow dispersal means termed a ‘Diffusing Flange’;   a ‘terrain effect’ actuating means termed a ‘Bump’;   an oblique flow intercepting device termed ‘Backstop Diverter’ or backstop;   a circumference array of flow capture and carrying tubes along with a back-end spray nozzle termed ‘Lubrication Layer Injectors’ or simply injectors;   a fluidic flow overhead capture means termed ‘Periscope Tower’ or simply periscope.   a fluidic flow rotating capture means placed either at the upper stage of the Periscope Tower or at the main axis of chamber assemblies is termed the ‘Rotating Scoop’ or scoop;   The entire apparatus comprising any combination of the elements here disclosed is termed the ‘Windjuicer’       

     The dimensions provided in the following example embodiments should be considered more for the relative dimensional relationships rather than the empirical size of the elements individually. Note that the following example embodiments are examples, and that other embodiments having different dimensions are contemplated as part of the invention. 
       FIG. 1  is a semi-perspective drawing of one version of apparatus  100  looking into an anterior orifice of a focusing chamber, according to an example embodiment, The roof associated with this example embodiment has been removed for graphic clarity. Apparatus  100  for fluidic flow capture and acceleration includes diverter  101 , focusing chamber  111 , and compression chamber  121 . 
       FIG. 1  discloses diverter  101  along with the inside of the first two chambers (facing towards the flow to be captured) of the assemblage, namely focusing chamber  111  and compressing chamber  121 . In this version, diverter  101  is shown sticking out of focusing chamber  111  about 400 centimeters and continuing back into focusing chamber  111  toward VAT  131  for about 100 centimeters. Diverter  101  is oriented along the ‘x’ axis of apparatus  100 . Even flows approaching at an obtuse angle to the ‘x’ axis of apparatus  100  will be captured and diverted back into the maw of the focusing chamber  111 , albeit at a proportionally decreased volume. 
     It is the concave surfaces of diverter  101  that create such latitude. Employing the principle of the ‘Coanda’ effect enables its concave surfaces to effectively divert fluidic flows back into focusing chamber  111 . This diversion allows conversion of those otherwise lost, errant directional flows into energy production, Conversely, flows impinging upon apparatus  100  from an approximately parallel direction to that of the ‘x’ axis will be virtually undeterred from their passage around bullnose anterior edge  103   a  and into focusing chamber  111 . Bullnose anterior edge  103   a  consists of an arc that, in this particular preferred embodiment, is at least a one half circle of about 304 millimeters in radius. Left flanking surface  107   a  is a concave in shape with a radius of about 1800 centimeters. The posterior edge, or back bullnose,  103   b  us an inexact mirror of bullnose anterior edge  103   a , differing primarily in its size, which in this preferred embodiment is a one half circle with a radius of about 16 millimeters. The precaution of providing one or more weatherized sets of vents anywhere along the lower and upper exterior surface should be taken along with the provision of an adequately-configured insect screening fitted over the opening to prevent infestation. 
     The focusing chamber  111  in this embodiment forms a truncated pyramidal shape on its side centered on the ‘x’ axis. Focusing chamber  111  consists of four or more frustum-shaped enclosing planes or panels  113 ,  115 ,  117 , and  119  distributed around the ‘x’ axis and fastened together seamlessly. The anterior orifice forms an open rectangular shape. Panels  113 ,  115 ,  117 , and  119  continue along the ‘x’ axis, then finish at the juncture of compressing chamber  121 , forming a seamless bond with an anterior orifice of compressing chamber  121 , which is in the shape of a square as depicted  FIG. 1 . 
     In this preferred embodiment the left panel&#39;s ( 113 ) front edge starts out at about 780 centimeters along the anterior edge and ends up about 560 centimeters at its posterior edge while going along the ‘x’ axis for about 350 centimeters. Panel  117  may mirror this shape. The bottom panel measures about 1590 centimeters along its anterior edge and about 560 centimeters at its posterior edge and goes along the ‘x’ axis for about 350 centimeters. The top panel  115  may or may not mirror this shape. All panels are centered around the ‘x’ axis in this one of many viable embodiment configurations. 
     In the case of this favored embodiment the invention is configured upon a house or platform. The dimensional limits in this case would be the living space for the bottom plane; the side yard setbacks for the two flanking planes  113  and  117  The top plane  115  height is delimited by the municipality&#39;s zoning regulations and the roof configuration required to cover the assemblage. 
     The anterior orifice of compressing chamber  121  is formed by panels  123 ,  125 ,  127 , and  128 . All panels  123 ,  125 ,  127 , and  128  are joined to a posterior orifice of focusing chamber  111  and to each other, forming a truncated pyramid (trapezoid) on its side. This volume reduction chamber functions as the name implies to compress the captured fluidic flow. By virtue of its length and shape, compressing chamber  121  has the capacity to calm and streamline the incoming fluidic flows while it concentrates them. Note that the honeycomb and screens forming streamliner  129  are cut away in this view for reasons of graphic clarity only. The taper of the sides is determined by mathematical function relative to given factors of length of platform size of COTS wind turbine and sufficient angle moderation as required to prevent flow-wall separation as derived from the Reynolds number calculation. In this preferred embodiment 4 equally sized panels arrayed equally around the ‘x’ axis seamlessly join the extraction chamber&#39;s anterior orifice and each other. In this preferred embodiment the anterior edges are all about 560 centimeters while the posterior edges are all about 280 centimeters in length. The chamber extends along the ‘x’ axis for about 350 centimeters from anterior orifice to posterior orifice. A VAT  131  is disclosed in a serial axially centric relationship to the compressing chamber. 
       FIG. 2  is a perspective section drawing along cutline A-A of  FIG. 1  through the longitudinal expanse of the example embodiment. Once again the roof has been removed for the sake of clarity.  FIG. 2  shows a section of one preferred embodiment of apparatus  100 . Fin diverter  101  is shown from the side looking at concave right flanking surface  107   b.    
     Clearly shown in  FIG. 2  is the posterior orifice of compressing chamber  121  seamlessly joined to the anterior orifice of extraction chamber  135 , which is about 280 centimeters along each edge. At about the junction between compressing chamber  121  and extraction chamber  135  is situated streamliner  129 . Streamliner  129  includes honeycomb  129   a  followed by a series of fixed screens  129   b  (three in the example embodiment shown) in close proximity to each other. Honeycomb  129   a  is placed perpendicular to the ‘x’ axis. In this preferred embodiment honeycomb  129   a  is placed at the joint between compressing chamber  121  and extraction chamber  135  and about 10 centimeters forward of screens  129   b . The cells of honeycomb  129   a  are configured from metal sheeting (18-25 gauge) firmly attached to all four panels of extraction chamber  135 . The cells can also be made from polymers, metals or organic fiber. The cell shape is hexagonal in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the cells are cubic or triangular shaped. Cell length should be about 6-8 times the cell diameter. 
     The screen arrangement includes one or more screening sheets of metallic, polymer or fiber mesh held in place by one or more single frames holding the screens apart with separation of about 100 mm or by multiple frames fixed together. In the embodiment shown, three screens are held apart in a single frame are to have a solidity of about 44% but not to exceed a density of about 50%. The diameter or gauge of the wires is to be about 1 millimeter with a mesh size of about 3 millimeters. The screen and frame are configured for easy insertion perpendicularly into at least one slot cut into the extraction chamber  135  as shown on  FIG. 16B . In this example embodiment, the extraction chamber  135  is to contain one or more slotted flange or groove on three of the sides which are so designed as to effectively contain at least one portion of the edge of the rigid screen frame and allow it to freely slide in and out through the slot in one or both of the chamber&#39;s sides. Mechanically attached to the access cover is to be at least one rigid handle as shown in  FIG. 16A . The rigid handle facilitates the removal of the screen frame for cleaning. The cover attaches to either of the flanking edges of the extraction chamber  135 &#39;s slot by any one of; snaps screws, clamps, nuts, connector or any similar means which will facilitate the easy removal while securing an airtight seal. The cover is to be rimmed with a suitable gasket as a means of forming an airtight flexible seal when cover is closed. 
       FIG. 2  shows one version of a COTS VAT installed into the extraction chamber  135 . Any variation of VAT, HAT, NRC or WHAT can be accommodated by the invention by simply varying the dimensions of the chambers to suit. 
       FIG. 2  shows support and bracing of any of the above converting methods. In the example of one preferred embodiment, a VAT support systems is shown comprising one or more of the following: a vertical stand pipe  131   c  leading down to a secured solid or hollow base  131   e ; a tripod base  131   d ; a horizontal brace  131   a ; stabilizer sets connecting the brace to one or more platform structural elements and or chamber; or any combination thereof  131   b . Support and bracing elements comprising sufficiently rigid shaped solid or hollow elements are affixed to a sufficient VAT, NRC, HAT, or WHAT device at one end and the platform at the other. In addition the stand pipe  131   c  and the base  131   e  may also serve as a conduit for wiring and or container for control and or monitoring connectors. Any yaw, pitch or roll facility must be removed or controlled by means of connection with one or more of the bracing elements as shown in  FIG. 15A . One or more additional support posts  205  are of a sufficient size and shape and material to support the turbine, compression chamber, focusing chamber, and extraction chamber. The support structure can be affixed to any portion of the apparatus as needed. 
     The VAT is contained by the extraction chamber  135  which in this example embodiment is a rectangular chamber of about 280 centimeters in height; about 280 centimeters in width and about 200 centimeters in length. The panels are connected by a seamless joint along each edge to each other, the posterior orifice of the compressing chamber and the anterior orifice of the diffusing chamber. Any one of the side or top panels or any combination thereof are removable through the use of fasteners; screws, bolts, toggles, snaps or any combination thereof to afford access to the fluid to energy converter for service and replacement. The seal around the edges of any removable panels are to be rendered sound proof through tightness and or a gasket sufficient to that purpose. The gasket material can be made of material having sound insulating qualities. 
     Diffusing chamber  142  is attached subsequent to extraction chamber  135 . Diffusing chamber  142  comprises four planes or panels  141 ,  143 ,  145 , (not visible in cutaway view of  FIG. 2 , shown in  FIG. 3 ), and  147 , which are fused to each other by a seamless joint. All edges of the anterior orifice of diffusing chamber  142  are fused to the posterior orifice of extraction chamber  135 . The sides of diffusing chamber are  142  substantially equidistantly arrayed about the central ‘x’ axis and extend along the axis for about 300 centimeters. The posterior edges form at least one orifice of about 340 centimeters on each side. 
     An appurtenance may or may not be arrayed around the posterior edges of diffusing chamber  142 . In the example embodiment shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , diffuser flange  177   a  of about 50 centimeters extending away from the diffusing chamber posterior rim at right angles to the ‘x’ axis. Diffuser flange  177   a  is made of the same material as diffusing chamber  142  and will be mechanically fused to the rim by a means of connection sufficiently resilient to prevent detachment under the most extreme flow conditions to be expected. This element will not be used for installation in which the assembly is enclosed within a house roof. 
       FIG. 3  is a perspective section along cutline B-B of  FIG. 1 , which is taken across the upper part of embodiment of the device producing a plan-like view of all chambers, according to an example embodiment. Once again the roof has been removed.  FIG. 3  shows the entire assemblage in semi-perspective plan along section cut A-A. In this view, honeycomb  129   a  and screen assemblage  129   b  are shown. Screen assemblage  129   a  is held taut by a frame which is sufficiently rigid and smooth to facilitate easy removal by means of access panel  129   c  with handle  129   g  (shown and described in  FIG. 16A ) attached. In this respect extraction chamber  135  is to have an interior circumferential groove  129   k  (shown on sheet  16 ) of sufficient size to allow firm retention yet easy slidability of the framed screens for service. 
     The cut-away panels of all chambers are shown revealing the enlarged cavity for the placement of sound insulation material sufficient to produce a Sound Transmission Class (“STC”) rating of about 30 to 60. In the example embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 3 , all chamber panels include at least one or more rigid, extruded polystyrene insulation encased within a 2×4 wood frame cavity wall surfaced with a typical smooth drywall finish. The interior chamber membrane may alternatively include any material suitable to the use. 
       FIG. 4  is a perspective view of an example embodiment of apparatus  100  placed on a house or residential dwelling, which is termed its platform of installation or simply platform, in an urban neighborhood. This drawing shows the positioning of a backstop diverter  151  for the enhanced capture of tangential approaching breezes. Also shown is one possible example embodiment of a ‘bump’ element in the form of a COTS sunroom  149 . Once again the roof has been removed for the sake of clarity.  FIG. 4  shows apparatus  100  (shown and described in  FIGS. 1 to 3  above) utilizing an urban sited house as the platform. This drawing illustrates one of many means of exploiting the flow acceleration produced by the terrain effect. In this preferred embodiment the terrain effect is produced and exploited by the proximity interaction of the Windjuicer device with COTS sunroom  149 . The terrain effect may be exploited by use of any artificial or natural bump element of sufficient size, proximity and juxtaposition to create the terrain effect while directing the enhanced fluidic flow into focusing chamber  111 . 
     One of many possible embodiments of backstop diverter  151  is shown in the form of a topiary of any suitable species. In this preferred embodiment backstop diverter  151  comprises eight boxwood plants that are trimmed and arrayed in a smooth arc so as to intercept and divert any obliquely impinging breeze into the anterior orifice of focusing chamber  111 . The height of backstop diverter  151  will be about the same as the height of the highest point of focusing chamber  111 . The length of said arc is inherently dependent upon the peculiar conditions of each individual installation. The curve of the arc should not impinge on the projected plane of the front orifice of focusing chamber  111  by more than about ¼ of its projected area. 
     When a determination is made that a site demonstrates a tendency for a large percentage of ambient fluidic flow to approach apparatus  100  from an oblique angle, the use of backstop diverter  151  can be employed to divert these seasonal flows into focusing chamber  111 . The arc begins in the proximity of the edge of the left or right side of focusing chamber  111 . The backstop diverter  151  continues along in an arc shape until it comes to a juncture point, which is determined by a sidewalk or property edge in this example. 
       FIG. 5  is an aerial, plan-like perspective rendition of  FIG. 4 , according to an example embodiment.  FIG. 5  shows the relative layout of one version of the proposed topiary and sunroom within a typical urban block arrangement. In this view, the roof has been removed for the sake of clarity.  FIG. 5  is a semi-perspective plan view of all the elements shown in  FIG.4 . This shows the relative location and curvature of the backstop diverter  151 . This also shows the relative location of COTS sunroom  149 . 
       FIG. 6  is a cut away perspective section view of a fluidic flow capture and acceleration apparatus  600  along cutline A-A of  FIG. 5 , showing one example embodiment with alternatively shaped chambers. The chambers are curvilinear in form in this example embodiment. Additional features have been added. The apparatus  600  is enclosed by a roof of a residence or typical urban house.  FIG. 6  includes substantially the same concatenation of serially axial flowing chambers as shown in  FIG. 2  along with the appurtenances disclosed in  FIGS. 4 and 5 . However, an alternative embodiment to one or more of the disclosed chambers is hereby depicted. In this disclosure, focusing chamber  611  is in the shape of uniform oval contained within a gambrel roof, which typifies the urban house installation or platform of the embodiment presented here. This illustration further speaks to the degree of sound insulation redundancy that a typical installation will entail due to insulation within a typical roof. The dimensions of the anterior orifice of this elliptical embodiment are about 640 centimeters for the minor axis, and about 1300 centimeters for the major axis. A cross-section of focusing chamber  611  is an ellipse. The length of the elliptical cone of focusing chamber  611  is about 300 centimeters along the ‘x’ axis. The terminal orifice is in the approximate shape of a circle centered about the ‘x’ axis with diameter of about 560 centimeters. 
     The subsequent chamber is compressing chamber  155 , which is firmly sealed at all edges fore and aft to the two connected chambers. It is configured in a cone shape of about 560 centimeters in diameter for the comparatively bigger orifice and 280 centimeters in diameter for the comparatively smaller orifice. In this preferred embodiment, it is about 300 centimeters in length along the ‘x’ axis. Just in front of one or more converters, such as HAT, is positioned a circular embodiment of the streamliner  129  (shown and described above in  FIG. 1 ) comprising at least one rounded embodiment of honeycomb assembly  129   d  and at least one rounded embodiment of screen assembly  129   e . In this embodiment, there is at least one rounded version of access panel  129   f , which functions and is assembled in substantially the same manner as the rectilinear embodiments  129   a ,  129   b  and  129   c  (shown in  FIG. 3 ). Substantially sealed and attached to the posterior edge of compressing chamber  155  is extraction chamber  157 . In this cylindrical embodiment of the similar segment described earlier, similar dimensions are retained. Specifically, extraction chamber  157  about 280 centimeters in diameter and about 200 centimeters in length. 
     Attached and substantially sealed to the posterior edge of the extraction chamber  135  comes the diffusing chamber  159 . It retains a similar coordination of dimensions to that of its homological rectangular version; about 280 centimeter diameter for the comparatively smaller orifice; about 340 centimeter diameter for the posterior orifice and about 300 centimeters in length measured along the ‘x’ axis. As with the rectilinear embodiment of the assemblage, the relative proportional dimensions are more importantly maintained than the individual dimensions. Thus, fluidic flow capture acceleration apparatus  600  can be resized for various applications. The size discussed above may be for a residential application. For larger residence or commercial building, the dimensions can be scaled up. In addition, the structure described can be further scaled up for different applications. The utility of this scalar flexibility will become more apparent as the wide variety applications which have already been discussed are disclosed in more detail in subsequent sections. 
     These curvilinear embodiments of the chambers can be constructed in the same manner using the same materials as the materials used to construct the rectilinear chambers detailed above. 
     In another embodiment, a second HAT  131   g  is installed relatively close behind and in direct axial conjunction to the initial HAT  131   f . This ancillary example embodiment has the purpose of converting the substantial left over fluidic flow energy from the primary HAT as represented in the Betz extraction limit theorem which indicates that 48.7% of the fluidic flow energy will remain in the wake of an ideal wind turbine. All support and restraining elements are substantially identical in the case of a double HAT installation. 
       FIG. 7  is a sectional along cutline A-A of  FIG. 5 , showing yet another example embodiment of the fluidic flow capture acceleration apparatus  700 . This drawing shows alternative configurations and materials and has additional features added.  FIG. 7  shows a section along A-A of substantially the same concatenation of serially axial flowing chambers as  FIG. 6 , but with the addition of some key appurtenances and homological changes. In this example embodiment, the streamlining assembly has been removed for graphic clarity. In this embodiment the focusing chamber  163  is in an irregular curvilinear shape formed by a supported membrane material. The anterior edge of the focusing chamber  163  are warped in such a way so as to join with the edge of the surrounding roof and retained by a skeletal framework  163   a  of any sufficiently strong solid or tubular shaped material. The primary dimensional relationships are about the same as that of the embodiment described for  FIG. 6 . 
     Attached to the focusing chamber  163  is substantially the same compressing chamber  155  as in previous  FIG. 6 . Affixed to the interior of compressing chamber  155  is depicted an evenly-spaced array of about 8 helical paddles  165  running the length of the chamber. Paddles  165  protrude about 30 centimeters in height in at least one of either a flat or triangular shape perpendicular to the attached surface. Paddles  165  are meant to induce a circular impetus onto the fluidic flow as it passes through the chamber. The circular flow is thereby intended to enhance the efficient transfer of circular torque to the propeller of the HAT. 
     All or any combination of the chambers may be formed by one or more of the following materials: polymers, fabrics, fibrous composites, crystalline, ceramic, metallic materials, or the like. These surface sheets may be self-supporting, mechanically connected directly to the sides of a platform or through a skeletal frame support which is further supported by sufficiently strong and resilient connections to a platform superstructure or any combination thereof. 
     Attached after the compressing chamber  155  is a different embodiment of the extraction chamber  157   a . In this example embodiment the extraction chamber is suffused with a plurality of perforations of about 5 to 10 centimeters in diameter evenly spaced in sufficient number and proximity to the extraction chamber&#39;s anterior orifice to be optimally effective. 
     In this instance of the example embodiment, openings or holes pierce compressing chamber  155 . The openings are substantially evenly spaced around the perimeter of compressing chamber  155 . Approximately 6 to 12 of these holes with a diameter of approximately 20-40 cm in diameter are connected to flexible conducting tubes  211  (only one cut away tube is shown for graphic clarity). Flexible conducting tubes  211  are connected to metallic penetration tubes with jet nozzles (not shown) affixed and positioned so as to direct an even thin fluidic flow along the inner surface of extraction chamber  157   a.    
     The purpose and intent of these flexible conducting tube elements  211  is to create a passive air film from the pressure in the focusing chamber transmitted through the tubes, sprayed over the surface of the receiving chamber (conversion chamber in this example embodiment) and thereby create a lubricating flow which will coat the walls of any one of the subsequent chambers. Such an air coating has been shown to have a beneficial effect on air passage through containing surfaces by lessening the friction of the walls. A passive airflow is induced by the pressure drop (ρ/2*(V 2   2 −V 1   2 ) and providing the passive airflow necessary to effectively reduce this frictional interaction. An array of lubricating flow jets can be placed in one or all of the chambers positioned after the focusing chamber. 
     The next appurtenance in succession is that of the protruding flange  177   b . This element is in all respects similar to element  177   a  except that it is rounded so as to attach smoothly to a rounded embodiment of the diffusing chamber  159 . 
     The two preceding curvilinear embodiments depicted in  FIG. 6  and in  FIG. 7  can contain any combination of the structures, materials and appurtenances described. 
       FIG. 8  discloses another example embodiment of the device in a perspective drawing in the context of a corner house which is open to both streets and two primary wind directions. In corner house  800 , the focusing chamber reflects this by opening up at 180°. In house  810 , an array of roof flap diverters is shown. The roof of corner house  800  has once again been removed. The urban emplacement of the invention is yet another alternate example embodiment. In this example embodiment, the invention is installed in a house which is located on an urban street corner. With this placement and by melding two focus chambers orthogonally this installation has the potential to capture natural flows approaching within a 270° arc. The roof covering has been cut away for graphic clarity. This configuration is made by rearranging the elements of the apparatus shown in  FIG. 1 . Panel  113  (shown in  FIG. 1 ) is substantially identical to the new emplacement of panel  113   a . Panel  115   a  is substantially the same as panel  115  (shown in  FIG. 1 ). Panel  115   b  is joined to the top edge of panel  115   a  but is turned counter clockwise 90°. Panel  117   a  is substantially the same as panel  117  (shown in  FIG. 1 ) and is joined to the top edge of panel  115   b . Panel  119   a  is joined to the bottom edge of panel  115   b  and is joined on the same plane to panel  119   b . Panel  119   b  is joined to panel  113   a  at its bottom edge thus forming an extended anterior orifice for the focus chamber depicted in  FIG. 8 . A triangular transition panel  111   b  joins panels  119   a  and  119   b  with the bottom of panel  127  of the compressing chamber. At the top triangular transitional panel  111   a  similarly joins  115   a ,  115   b  and  123  which is the top panel of the compressing chamber. The remainder of the assemblage remains substantially the same as those example embodiments described in  FIGS. 1 through 7 . A fin diverter  101  is installed substantially in the same manner and relative location as the fin diverter in  FIG. 1 . A second fin diverter  101   b  is installed in a similar fashion along the ‘x’ axis of the orifice extension to the focus chamber from interior surface of panel  115   b  down to at least the inner surface of  119   a.    
     On house or structure  810 , protruding hinged flaps are shown  167 . These are meant to extend beyond the edge of any enclosing roof. They may be swiveled up or down along the roof attachment either mechanically or by a sensor controlled motor. By strategically swiveling these elements a greater amount of fluidic flow may be captured. 
       FIG. 9  shows a perspective of an example embodiment of the apparatus  100  installed in an atrium-configured structural platform of quartet-lobed house  900 . Each house section holds a full configuration of apparatus  100  substantially orthogonally arrayed around atrium  171 . In the center of atrium  171  is pool of water  173 . The roofs have been removed with the exception of one semi-transparent rendition.  FIG. 9  shows a perspective of four individual installations of apparatus  100  arrayed together back-to-back on elevated platforms. In one example embodiment, these are rooms of a house that surround atrium  171 . Atrium  171  contains pool of water  173  filling at least 75% of the surface of atrium  171 , which is open to the sky. Pool of water  173  is thereby exposed to warm sunlight, resulting in an evaporative induced micro low-pressure zone. Through the agency of the actions of a cyclonic cell dynamic, an air flow will be induced sucking in air from the surroundings and lifting upwards over the pool of water  173 . In this way an air flow will be induced through the length of each of the four copies of apparatus  100 . 
     The array of focusing chambers covering all four cardinal directions any breeze will be snatched into one or more of the chamber assemblies and refined into enhanced electrical production. 
       FIG. 10  shows a perspective drawing of other example embodiments of apparatus  100 .  FIG. 10  shows a plurality of potential deployments and scales of apparatus  100 . One example embodiment of the invention is attached to highway overpass  179 . Another example embodiment shows one or more versions of apparatus  100  attached to one or more towers  1010 .  FIG. 10  also shows one or more example embodiments of apparatus  100  attached to billboard  187 . Apparatus  100  could also be attached to streetlight  189 .  FIG. 10  shows the invention&#39;s scale flexibility and utilization of the benefits of the invention in the context of tall commercial building towers An array of appropriately scaled-up example embodiments of apparatus  100  can be installed atop one or more roof edges  181  of towers  1010 . Further utilization can be made through the agency of bridge  183  between two adjacent towers  1010  and suitably sized versions of apparatus  100  to take advantage of accelerated breezes squeezed between buildings  1010 . In another smaller scaled embodiment, one or more coupled rows  185  of apparatus  100  would form a series of down facing chambers in order to capture the up flowing wind. By this means, the natural acceleration of wind is diverted up the facade of buildings  1010  can be exploited for energy conversion. 
       FIG. 11  shows a perspective view of a periscope-like wind capture tower appendage, according to an example embodiment. Tower  1110  shows what an actual installation would look like. Tower  1120  shows a cut-away describing how the tower connects to one version of the Windjuicer without the focusing chamber. For the sake of clarity, the roof has again been cut away.  FIG. 11  shows the application of an alternate appurtenance to allow the main apparatus to function in difficult locations. There are two views of this appurtenance termed the periscope-tower for wind capture above obstructions. House or structure  1120  shows the tower installed in an example embodiment where it pokes through a standard house roof. A house or structure  1110  shows the same tower with the roof removed so as to reveal the attachment of the Windjuicer apparatus to the base of the tower. The tower in this example embodiment includes elements of wood frame construction, such as 2×4 wood framing with dry wall interior and a sufficiently weather proof exterior surfacing. Alternatively it may be constructed of one or more of the following; masonry, concrete, flexible or rigid membrane, polymers, artificial or natural fibers and any combinations thereof. 
     The tower  193  includes four supporting and enclosing planes or panels  193   a ,  193   b ,  193   c , and  193   d  and an open cornice  193   e . Four posts creating the open cornice  193   g . A vertical lined shaft  193   f  which directs wind down to the main apparatus at the bottom (an approved fire protective lining will be mandated by civil building code for this configuration). The tower also includes a protective roof assembly  193   h . A removable access panel  193   i  is located at any facet of the base and at any suitable size to allow access for maintenance. 
     Located at the top of the tower as shown in structures  1110 ,  1120  is installed a rotating scoop assemblage that is characterized by of one or more of the following elements:
         an effectively shaped wind vane which in this preferred embodiment is triangular  195   a;      the vane is connected by a swing boom to a rotatable pole or mast  195   b      the mast penetrates and is held by the roof  193   h  through a rotating flange assembly  195   h    195   i  and  195   j  (shown and described in  FIG. 15A );   the mast connects and transmits the movements of the wind vane to a truncated half cylinder scoop  195   c;      a quarter hemispherical interior surface  195   d  which redirects an impinging fluidic flow from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction and into the tower shaft;   a sufficiently strong chase top  195   e  which retains the track of rotation  195   f  while holding up the rotating scoop  195  and is sufficiently connected to the panels of the tower to support all the scoop elements;   a circular track  195   f  to facilitate the scoop rotation;       

     This rotating scoop assembly includes at least some of the interconnected parts as depicted on  FIG. 11  which are formed out of one or more of the following; metallic sheeting, polymer sheeting, artificial or natural fibers or wood frame construction and any combinations thereof. 
     The tower may be of any suitable size. In this preferred embodiment there is at least one tower of about 560 centimeters square at the base, and about 2050 centimeters from ground to roof cornice. the clearstory below the cornice is about 250 centimeters tall on all four sides the rotating ½ cylinder scoop is about 248 centimeters tall, and about 500 centimeters in diameter the circular hole is about 520 centimeters in diameter. 
       FIG. 12  shows a cutaway close-up perspective of the same elements as  FIG. 11 . Tower  1110  uses one example embodiment of an angled panel deflecting means to redirect a vertical fluidic flow back into a horizontal trajectory into one version of a compressing chamber. Tower  1120  shows vertical flow being redirected into one version of a compressing chamber by way of one version of cascade of curved and tilted vanes  199 .  FIG. 12  shows the same two tower configurations in a cutaway rendition revealing two means of fluidic flow redirection from vertical within the tower to horizontal into the compressing chamber. It should be noted however that applicant intends to encompass any structure presently existing or developed in the future that performs the same function. Structure  1110  shows the tower with protective lining  193   f  of any ASTM approved configuration and opening  193   i  into the compressing chamber. The opening is to be of a size sufficient to conduct all available fluidic flow into the compressing chamber without restriction. In the preferred embodiment it is about 520 centimeters by about 520 centimeters. The flow redirecting panel  197  is fixed at all edges to the walls of the tower with the lowest edge aligned to the lowest edge of the anterior compressing chamber orifice. The panel is angled at about 45° from the horizontal plane of the platform. 
     In structure  1120 , the tower lining and opening are the same as in structure  1110 . In this example embodiment, the instrument of redirection consists of cascade of curved and tilted vanes  199 . The relative size, shape, number, and arrangement is determined by optimal flow redirection results. Vanes  199  may be arrayed in a horizontal plane or at any effective angle. In the preferred embodiment shown in structure  1120 , there are seven curved and tilted vanes  199 , each one about 104 centimeters in width and about 520 centimeters in length angled about 45° to horizon and about parallel to the flat panel in the configuration of structure  1110 . 
       FIG. 13  shows an underwater deployment of another example embodiment of the invention which has been waterproofed. This unit is attached to a sinking platform of sufficient mass to keep the unit at the desired depth. The platform is lowered with lowering cables and remote controlled detachment bars.  FIG. 13  shows a submersible embodiment of the Windjuicer apparatus  201 . In this example embodiment many of the elements are sealed away from water exposure. All exposed elements are treated to prevent or substantially slow corrosion from salt water. Extra vertical supports are strategically located and affixed to the underside of each chamber or chamber joint  205   b  in the rear and  205   c  in the front. A water submerging platform  209  is used to hold and stabilize the Windjuicer assemblage through the vertical supports. Four remotely actuated cable connectors  203  are affixed at the four corners of the submerging platform. An array of COTS cables  207  of sufficient strength and flexibility are used to raise and lower the submersible Windjuicer assemblage.

The cable is retained by an eyelet  163   e  of a sufficiently rigid material which is connected to the structure of the platform by a connecting means  163   f.    
       FIG. 14B  shows an intermediate chamber support comprising an overlay patch  163   i  with an eyelet pass-through centrally attached containing a grommet reinforcement. All are of the same material as the membrane except the grommet which is of a sufficiently rigid material to hold the cable and prevent tears. The support is provided by a cable tie-back  163   g  secured to the platform structure by a mini-shock absorber  163   h . Rigid support for the transition joint between the focusing chamber  163   b  and the compressing chamber  163   k  is provided by one of either a tubular  163   j  or rod assembly of sufficiently rigid material. 
       FIG. 14C  shows the detail of the connection between the half truncated rotating cylinder  195   c  and the track  195   f . The lower edge of the half truncated rotating cylinder  195   c  is supported by a gliding means  195   m  which in turn is supported by the chase top  195   e . The interior wall of the rotating cylinder is further supported by an attached metal  1 ′ angle  195   k  which rests upon the edge of the chase top through a second gliding means  195   m . Sandwiched between the inner support angle  195   k  and the bottom of the cylinder  195   c  is affixed another longer ‘L’ metal angle  195   n . In this preferred embodiment the portion of angle  195   n  which fits inside of a Teflon coated track  195   f  is also Teflon coated for facilitating easy slidability. 
       FIGS. 15A-15  C show two-dimensional details of one version of the appendage tower shown in  FIGS. 11 and 12 .  FIG. 15A  shows a cutaway detail of the weather vane connected rod passing through the tower roof.  FIG. 15B  shows the means for connecting a vane trunnion to the tower wall.  FIG. 15C  shows one version of the retainer connection between at least one of a VAT, HAT, NRC or WHAT.

       FIG. 15B  shows one of a group of cascading curved vanes  199  with an attached trunnion  199   a . Upon the trunnion are mounted an array of triangular wire prongs  199   b  of sufficient resilience to allow flexing into a trunnion cover tube  199   d  and sufficient spring-back to pop up above the coordinated slots cut through the tube. In this example embodiment at least two evenly spaced rows of four substantially evenly spaced wire triangular prongs  199   b  are arrayed. The inner tube  199   d  contains a coordinated series of slots  199   c  to allow each one of the prongs to pop up into the slot and thereby retain the trunnion firmly in position. An outer sleeve  199   e  is secured to both ends of the inner tube of sufficient size and rigidity to allow a secure bond between it and the tower walls. The space between the inner tube  199   d  and the outer cover  199   e  must be sufficient to allow the prongs  199   b  to effectively pop up through the slits  199   c  which in this example embodiment is about 2 centimeters. 
       FIG. 15C  shows a collar  131   h  which retains a HAW  131   f  at the point it connects with stand  131   c . A set of sufficiently strong pins  131   i  further retains the HAW in a straight position facing the oncoming fluidic flow.

     A device, termed the ‘Windjuicer’, enhances the process of converting fluidic flow into electrical energy comprising an assemblage of functionally discreet yet interactive elements which includes one or more of the following: 
     a fluidic flow directing means termed a ‘Fin Diverter’ or diverter;
         a fluidic flow focusing means termed a ‘Focusing Chamber’;       

     a fluidic flow constricting means termed a ‘Compression Chamber’; 
     a fluidic flow laminating and filtrating means termed the ‘Streamlining’ assembly or streamliner; 
     a fluidic flow turbine enclosure means termed a ‘Extraction Chamber’; 
     a fluidic flow to energy conversion by way of a turbine or comparable termed converter; 
     a fluidic flow sucking means termed a ‘Diffusing Chamber’; 
     a fluidic flow to energy converting means comprising either a non-rotational conversion device or one of many available turbine devices which will be referred to as either a VAT (vertical axis turbine), HAT (horizontal axis turbine) or a WVAT (water vertical axis turbine) or simply as the converter; 
     a fluid flow sucking means termed a ‘Diffusing Chamber’; 
     a fluidic flow dispersal means termed a ‘Diffusing Flange’; 
     a Terrain Effect actuating means termed a “Bump”; 
     an oblique flow intercepting device termed “Backstop Diverter” or backstop; 
     a circumference array of flow capture and carrying tubes along with a back-end spray nozzle termed ‘Lubrication Layer Injectors’ or injectors; 
     a fluidic flow overhead capture means termed ‘Periscope Tower’ or periscope; 
     a fluidic flow rotating capture means placed either at the upper stage of the periscope tower or at the main axis of chamber assemblies is termed the ‘Rotating Scoop’ or scoop; and 
     the entire apparatus comprising any combination of the elements here disclosed is termed the ‘Windjuicer. 
     Some or all the above elements, along with various appurtenances, function interactively. Fluidic flows are captured, then accelerated while maintaining laminarity and the energy of the fluidic flow is converted into electricity. In one embodiment, this is accomplished through the sequential interaction of each element, which are coaxially aligned around a hypothetical central axis and are serially conjoined to work in conjunction to first capture by redirection of a fluidic flow by means of the diverter and focusing said flow by means of the focusing chamber, and then accelerating the flow by said compressing chamber, then filtering out any extraneous materials while instilling a laminarity to the flow by said streamliner then by visually and audibly isolating the energy conversion process by surrounding the moving parts of a fluid flow conversion device with an insulated and isolated extraction chamber. Finally adding additional acceleration impetus to the fluidic flow through the suction action of the terminal diffusing chamber. 
     In one embodiment, the fin diverter precedes the concatenation of chambers and is partially set into the anterior orifice of said focusing chamber. The fin diverter is horizontally centered on an ‘x’ axis and extends vertically from the underside of the top plane of the focusing chamber to some distance between the bottom plane of the focusing chamber and the ground. The fin diverter is a column-like element that has a top and bottom with one or more covering elements or covers. The covers are either be solid or porous. The edges of which are joined to all the vertical walls of the fin diverter whereby all vertical surfaces are sealed by said covers. the front, rear and two flanking vertical planes of the fin diverter consist of curvilinear surfaces. The anterior and posterior edges of the fin diverter include at least one bullnose shaped surface. The edges of the arc of each bullnose form one or more seamless joints with the left and right flanking vertical surfaces and with the bottom and top covering surfaces. In one embodiment, the anterior bullnose has a larger radius than the posterior bullnose. Both the left and right flanking surfaces are concave in shape running up and down forming a continuous surface which is sealed at all edges containing one or more vents. The shape and location of the fin diverter enables capture of a more diverse range of impinging angles of fluidic flow. 
     In another embodiment the focusing chamber includes a plurality of frustum shaped enclosing planes distributed around the ‘x’ axis are fastened together seamlessly creating two openings at the planes touching the ‘x’ axis referred to as the anterior orifice for the larger facing away from the assemblage and the smaller referred to as the posterior orifice facing toward the assemblage, the frustum walls proceed along the ‘x’ axis diminishing in size and tending towards convergence around the ‘x’ axis from anterior to posterior. The focusing chamber is in a serial axial flow relationship to all the subsequent chambers in the concatenation.
