Abstract:
A vertical axis omni-wind turbine having a wind sail centrally mounted to a turbine drive shaft, the wind sail consisting of three generally identical vanes paced 120 degrees apart. The vanes each have a generally concave surface for capturing impinging wind thrust with an opposite generally convex surface to provide minimal wind resistance. The resulting disparate wind resistance causes a stronger reaction on the concave side of a vane which in turn provides rotation about the vertical oriented drive shaft. The turbine has omni-wind characteristics in that regardless of the wind direction an adequate portion of the concave surface of a rotor blade will always be exposed to impinging wind. The subsequent drive shaft rotation is transmitted to an electrical turbine.
