Patent ID: 8063502

Claim:
A renewable energy system, comprising: a turbine comprised of a shroud defining a passage and a rotor rotatably positioned within said shroud; a generator mechanically connected to said turbine for generating an energy; a first intake fluidly connected to said turbine at a first location, wherein said first intake receives a first airflow; a first exhaust opening within said turbine fluidly connected to said passage, wherein said first airflow collected by said first intake passes through a first portion of said passage and exits said first exhaust opening; a second intake fluidly connected to said turbine at a second location, wherein said second intake receives a second airflow; and a second exhaust opening within said turbine fluidly connected to said passage, wherein said second airflow collected by said second intake passes through a second portion of said passage and exits said second exhaust opening; wherein said first portion and said second portion of said passage are separate from one another and do not overlap; wherein airflow within said first portion and said second portion of said passage is in a first direction thereby rotating said rotor in said first direction.
