Patent ID: 7918650

Claim:
A system for pressurizing a fluid with continuous reusable energy by utilizing the venturi effect to capture wind power, said system comprising: a) a substantially hollow base structure having opposed end surfaces, a rear surface, a front surface opposite said rear surface, an upper surface joining said rear surface, said front surface having a center section and two side sections joining said center section to said ends, said side sections being longer than said center section, said side sections tapering away from said center section toward said rear surface along a length thereof from said center section to said end surfaces, said end surfaces having a depth between said front surface and said rear surface, the depth of said end surfaces being less than a depth between said center section and said rear surface; b) a plurality of hollow cylindrical vertical towers having a first open end leading into said base and a second open end communicating with the ambient environment; c) an air intake venturi conduit extending horizontally from said base and in interior communication therewith, said conduit having a central venturi throat with a narrower diameter than the opposing ends thereof; d) an undershot turbine wheel disposed within said venturi throat; e) a pressure unit for pressurizing an element and storing the pressurized contents; f) a power shaft communicating between said turbine wheel and a power unit; g) said turbine wheel includes a plurality of fins extending directly from an outer circumferential surface thereof to give the air flow a surface to drive in order to rotate said turbine, said fins having a width across said outer circumferential surface that is greater than a height extending away from said outer circumferential surface; and h) wherein said fins are arranged in chevron fashion with the meeting point of the V pointing away from said air intake port when on the underside of said turbine wheel.
