| Title: | WIND FIN: ARTICULATED, OSCILLATING WIND POWER GENERATOR | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract: | A system and method for harvesting the kinetic energy of a fluid flow for power generator with an articulated airfoil shape (12) capable of form inversion. Pivoted about a mast (14), the mechanism moves in an oscillatory manner and harvests the maximum aerodynamic lift forces available for a given oscillation cycle. Unlike other oscillating devices, this device presents a preferred shap to a fluid flow, and depends neither upon mechanical trimming devices for optimum control nor upon aeroelastic flutter. In an elongated form, such as a vertical fin, the system (10) harvests an amount of energy comparable to a turbine of the same overall height, yet can be grouped in more compact clusters, and is less evident in the landscape. | ||||||||||||||||||||
