Zusammenfassung:Abstract Wind Turbine used to compress air to high pressure can be used to create strong water flow in a submerged pipe, called a Venturi Pump. As the air expands it creates a pressure differential between the weight of water and atmospheric pressure outside the pipe compared to inside the pipe. Water is significantly more dense than air. The flow of water creates sufficient Nf to turn the turbine on a permanent magnet electricity generator and produce electricity. The air in the venturi pump/pipe continues to expand as it rises toward the surface. This re-accelerates the water, gaining sufficient Nf to turn a further turbine. There is some loss of energy due to turbidity and friction and some loss of electrical energy due to resistance. The amount of electricity able to be generated is governed by the amount of airflow, pressure of airflow, width and depth of the venturi pipe, number permanent magnet generators installed and spacing of the turbines. These variables can be varied to achieve the optimum electricity generation within the constraints of the location. ww -~ ~ 0 w________________ :t EE 0 .22 c Q, Q, Q w E .
