Abstract | A Croatian SME company is offering environmental innovation in the field of alternative energy sources with particular emphasis on the ecology. The main advantages of the proposed technology are its adaptability to different locations, low cost and increased efficiency compared to existing windmill technologies. The partners for commercialization of the innovation are sought. |
Details | This invention relates to a device for producing electricity. Today wind power devices use only wind and solar devices use only the sun's energy. Wind power devices on the market require high costs, not only because of the size of rotor, but also because of very demanding fixture. Such a demanding setting is needed in order to enable the wind power devices to endure very strong wind. As a consequence, they can be set up only at special locations which are damaging the image of the environment from far away. The primary objective of this invention is to have wind and solar power device with unlimited use of both wind and solar energy for power generation. Today's wind power devices must be excluded from working at very high wind speed, which is definitely their strong drawback. With this invention, owing to its technical performance, this is not necessary. Moreover, the device is most efficient in strong wind. An additional benefit is that the device can produce energy when there is no wind but there is sun, and that it is most effective when there is both wind and sun. The above advantages are made possible by configuring the device in a way which enables the change of the horizontal wind direction to the vertical one. At the same time it is possible to collect and accelerate large amounts of wind, and to target it at the blades which are part of the turbine for producing the electricity. Innovative Aspects: The invention enables virtually continuous and unlimited use of wind and solar energy. Main advantages of the device are: •it is adaptable to very inaccessible locations •it can be economically produced •it can be transported in smaller constituent parts •it does not require expensive procedures for the static •it is environmentally completely acceptable •it can be incorporated into any environment and most importantly •it can significantly compensate for the lack of ever more needed electricity. With this approach it is much easier to bring the electricity to its destination than is the case with current windmills. The invention has proven its functionality with an improvised model (small prototype). |
