New Wind Turbine Invention.mp4

[LMF5000]

Ok, it works, but I'm not sure it's better. Do you have any data that shows this produces higher power output than a conventional axial wind turbine of the same diameter under identical wind conditions?

[memadmax69]

For those people that are "nuking out" how it works, think of this: It works....

gg

The End....

[teslamight]

@memadmax69 People Asking Questions works too, apparently- get over it

[memadmax69]

@teslamight Let me rephrase my original post because you apparently don't get it: For those of you being dorks about this thing..... it just works.....

Apparently, you must be a dork............

[teslamight]

@memadmax69 I'd rather be a dork than a bigoted suppressant of imagination and curiosity. Good luck with being a closed minded asshole, you'll need it.

[element2310]

If this is patent pending, can you tell us what your patent application number is and if you have also filed PCT thanks

[jerrydesaulniers]

@element2310 I don't have the application number in front of me right now but if you look up my name (Jerry Desaulniers) on Google Patents you can see it. Busy, Busy gotta go!

[teslamight]

how does it correct for wind direction? do you have to adjust it manually?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@teslamight The turbine shown was just a quickie prototype stuck on a pole. It actually works as a downwind turbine where the turbine is mounted downwind after the pivot point. That is how the patent reads also. Thanks for your question it shows your engineering aptitude!

[TheStupidcomment]

Sorry, but funnelling wind is not the same as funnelling water. Plus, in your design, you lose any theoretic funnelling by having the wind come out the sides, you are not funnelling anything.

[jerrydesaulniers]

@TheStupidcomment I love your name!!

[a1mint]

@jerrydesaulniers Yet he is right. I also highly doubt you can troll up the patent system with this.

[bas12345654321]

windows music we meet again :S

[bukster1]

How much power did it generate in that low wind speed?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@bukster1 The turbine in the video is the first prototype and does not have a generator connected. The second and third prototypes had generators and produced power at low wind speeds.

[garagatza]

@jerrydesaulniers question was : how much power did it generate!? thanks!

[Texmurphy51]

It wont work in a side wind.

Will be ok in an area where the wind blows in only one direction.

[utubmania2009]

how's it is birds friendly?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@utubmania2009 Since the birds can see it they avoid it.

[utubmania2009]

@jerrydesaulniers What about the noise level? Have you measure it?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@utubmania2009 The test turbine in Hawkesbury is mounted on a 38 foot pole. You cannot hear it until about 60 mph wind and even then it is a very faint sound 60Db or less.

[jimbo31000]

i think if you bend the blade inward instead of out it would work more better.

[jimbo31000]

i think if you bend the blade inward instead of out it whould work more better.

[311kratos]

SICK

[jerrydesaulniers]

@311kratos Thanks!

[jerrydesaulniers]

It was just an estimate and watching the video confirms the estimate I would say. Thanks for the comment.

[bernharddown]

How did you measure the wind speed? Just by the movement of the plants in the background, I'd say this might be as high as Beaufort 3 (8-12mph), rather than 2mph. Just curious, nice turbine.

[stampingdragon]

Renewables are the new Black, Taxes predicted on Sunshine and Gravity.

[jerrydesaulniers]

@stampingdragon Unfortunately you are probably correct. I'm suprised they have not figured out how to tax childbirth.

[tigerbody1]

Where is the meter showing the power produced?



[jerrydesaulniers]

@tigerbody1 This video was of the first prototype. It was only to prove the concept. Since then we have made a prototype and tested on a pole and in a wind tunnel. The results were very promising.

[1crazyfocker]

you know what, that may have come out like i was downing your work. sorry, not what i ment, but good work, and great job

[jerrydesaulniers]

@1crazyfocker I appreciate that you have your opinions, we all have our opinions. As far as the Patent you mentioned in your previous statement, I'm very well aware of this Patent as I did a complete Patent search. I was not overly impressed with that design and I've yet to see it work in the real world. As for turbine I took out a patent on, it's allready working and has been for a year. It tracks the wind well, provides some power at low winds and provides good power.

[1crazyfocker]

@jerrydesaulniers but did you patent it? what is the patent number?, like i said i didnt mean to sound rude, or to down your work. dont the closed end of the funnel create a lot of drag, that transmits to the "pole"/stand. kinda like having a big flat plat facing the wind? i see how that works, and builds up pressure to force more air through the vanes, to spin it faster or with more torque. but it does seem like it would "flop" back and forth in the wind. any way good luck with your work

[jerrydesaulniers]

@1crazyfocker Yes I applied for the Patent in October 2009 and the review date is coming shortly. And I appreciate your comments and realize they are actually well meaning. Afterall there are so many people that are trying to make new energy devices, and most don't work. The Vortex Wind Funnel does work extremely well and will probably be widely acknowledged by many in the upcoming years.

[1crazyfocker]

@jerrydesaulniers I have a patent my self that why I asked, and now days when i look into anything i say forget google, and go straight to the patents, I have a VAWT design tht i am still testing, the good thing about mine is that even in a tornado (if the stand was able to hold up) the turbine it self would never over spin, and there is no mech brake pads to were out, but does the end of the funnel couse any drag? on to the post?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@1crazyfocker I'm glad to hear you are going through the Patent process. As for your question about the end of the funnel I dont understand. I must first explain this video shows an upwind turbine and the actual turbine is a downwind turbine. And iy also does not need a brake. I hope your turbine does well. What is the Patent number? Or do you have a video link please post as I would like to see it. Bye for now.

[1crazyfocker]

@jerrydesaulniers thank you but i am done already (if you want to call it that) since i have to keep paying on it like ever few years to keep it mine. but that patent not for a wind turbine, it for a (censored)....sorry even tho you can find it with a search, i am still keeping it to my self, until i start selling it. but anyway thank you. but my wind turbine should be going to the patent office in the next year or so.

[1crazyfocker]

so its a conical squirrel cage.... I know i have seen this before, in one of my mechanical engineering books from the early 1900's. you said patent pending what is your patent pending number????? having the back end being solid like that, wouldnt it create a lot of drag, converting the wind force onto the stand, (makeing it want to rip it off its stand) wouldnt it been better to have some openings (like fan blades), like this better version Patent US5669758 from 1997? it still build pressure

[bnewton81]

Why not just make 50 smaller turbines to collect lower speed winds? I know the eye soar it would create, but wouldn't it work?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@bnewton81 That is a good idea, but the cost might be too high.

[wyrrox]

Why do people keep re-inventing the wind turbine?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@wyrrox Because conventional wind turbines do not provide useful energy below 12 mph wind speed. In our research we have found some usable energy below this threshold. Someone has to do the work. We are glad to be the ones!

[pr4wn5tar]

nice, but will it power my house?

[jerrydesaulniers]

@pr4wn5tar This was the first prototype and no it will not power anything it was just to prove the concept. But a turbine is coming based on the prototype.

[jerrydesaulniers]

The wind turbine is coming on the market soon and the finished version is available through Master Flo Wind

[snooter28]

where to buy one?

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Encouraging to see a young person doing something constructive instead of sitting in front pf a video game all day....

[saturnx311]

Great idea!! Wow, you are totally cool!

I can see the potential of this invention. Best of luck to you!

[vhbeazel]

I will post on Facebook...Jerry I hope the good guys can get this out to the world; look for ways to connect with water districts directly...

Also, if you can hook up an air compressor 2 gas turbine - use the wind power to run the compressors to inject steam into microturbines...just an idea I've had for twenty years; which is why I do radio blogs! Lots of ideas to pass on to interested persons, with the will to create and invent better tools.

[eddesaulniers]

sweet

[greenearthification]

It seems like people are getting into a trend of more funnelish turbines that produce SOOOOOO much more nrg!

[windy331]

Awesome
