Abstract:
Disclosed is an air concentration tower for a vertical axis wind turbine. The air concentration tower has a polygonal outer perimeter, a pivot located at each vertex of the polygonal outer perimeter, and an inwardly-positioned rudder blade operatively connected at each pivot. Each inwardly-positioned rudder blade has a first wind-neutral position, and is pivotable through a plurality of angles that adjust based on an incoming wind direction, such that the incoming wind is channeled to the vertical axis wind turbine, which is located approximately at a center area of the polygonal outer perimeter. The air concentration tower is designed to provide higher wind speed to the vertical axis wind turbine than the surrounding ambient air.
