Zusammenfassung: | The present invention is related generally to power generation, and more particularly, to an apparatus for generating power from wind energy by accelerating winds captured by a wind catcher module. According to a first aspect, a wind energy system comprises a wind turbine and a wind catch opening, in which there is a pressure-gradient force that accelerates the movement of air into the wind catch opening and onto the wind turbine. According to another aspect, a wind energy system comprises a wind turbine and a wind catch module that redirects wind from outside the wind energy system to the wind turbine in a direction substantially perpendicular to the wind turbine. According to yet another aspect, a wind energy system comprises a wind turbine, where the moving parts of the wind turbine are not exposed to humans, birds or other similar sized wildlife during normal operation. |
