FROM THE INVENTOR:

Recommendations: Condensed instructions for construction and operation of the INVERTED-SAIL WINDMILL DESIGN.  Experimentation left to interested parties.

Throughout History, without realizing it, Mankind has gazed upon the most efficient electricity-producing windmill design.  The source?  That is: alternative energy by the use of inverted wind-sails to capture and produce endless electricity without negative environmental impact. This was not lost on Leonardo DaVinci. His notes suggest   his conviction wind-sails could be utilized for propulsion of watercraft up-river.

INVERTED-SAIL WINDMILL DESIGN

THE INVERTED-SAILS are THE BLADES

INVENTOR’S design suggestions are as follows:

In WINDMILL energy it all comes down to THE BLADES. Blade design here is the use of lightweight inverted bellowing wind-sails.  A windmill generates power by slowing down the wind. The   Sail-Blade Design is most important.   Full wind-sails operate as the ENERGY COLLECTOR transferring energy from the windmill tower to ground-level usage and  battery storage.     

Compared to current designs, the inverted-sail design is compact; with less land-usage.  It is constructed by balancing four inverted-sails based upon a counter-rotating axel foundation.

As the windmill’s sails fill with the wind, they propel  windmill energy production.  This is possible at almost any wind speed and direction.     The electricity produced is easily transferable  down the tower  to an  alternator for home use.

THE INVERTED-SAILS BLADES

The INVERTED SAIL WINDMILL DESIGN consists of four inverted sails made of lightweight photovoltaic cells. Plastic materials; perhaps, Kevlar. It is also suggested interested parties experiment with other high-impact plastics

The sails must be cupped to hold as much wind power as possible; yet be lightweight enough to bear  the force of excessive wind-speeds  = storms.

Assuming the windmill is constructed properly of modern lightweight but sturdy materials… performance efficiency of electricity production is directly related to blade-design.  Moreover, it is the rotor design of the blades and hub, which makes this design a compact high-efficiency electricity producer.   Your blades will perform best at almost “ANY” speed.

Inverting of four equally balanced sails makes for the best windmill = minimizing noise, vibration and ultimately the greatest stabilization. As the wind speed rises, the raw power comes down the tower to the generator for usage and storage.

GENERALLY,    high wind-speed could  cause excessive vibration detrimental to current windmills stability and survival. Making contemporary windmills  less efficient in high winds. HOWEVER, TO THE CONTRARY, THE INVERTED-SAIL WINDMILL DESIGN becomes more efficient. THE MORE WIND-SPEED THE BETTER. Since this design absorbs the excessive wind-speed into it compact design.

The operative words here are STRONG and STURDY. The INVERTED-SAIL WINDMILL’S coils must be balanced as flat as possible - perfectly square - to make the armature fit precisely near the alternator.  If it is not, the air gap will be larger on one side of the alternator; and, therefore, performance will be compromised. Remember, the ideal tip-speed ratio depends on rotor diameter, blade width, and blade pitch.    

THE COUNTER-ROTATING AXEL BASE

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT IN THE PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION

Due to the counter-rotating axel base design [commonly available], the wind speed and direction is no longer necessarily a primary concern. It is not necessary the INVERTED-SAIL WINDMILL be constructed facing prevailing wind-speed  direction. This counter-rotating mechanism keeps the windmill constantly facing into the prevailing wind direction.  Thus, creating constant electricity generation; both in  the most mild; and, most importantly, in excessive force wind-speeds = without fear of   super-vibration leading to self-destruction.  Ergo,   the benefit of enormous creation of electrical power is possible. Nevertheless, the counter-rotating design and construction is left up to the next inventor. [Note: Such as designs are commonly available.] 

Gears are operative in low-winds and, or the highest shaft speed possible; without sacrificing high-wind performance.  Start-Up Speed-is at  just about any speed;  assuming the windmill is lightweight however sturdy. The counter-rotating the rotor can  starts turning almost immediately.  The startup speed can probably start at about 5-7 MPR. As such as the windmill should have the ability to commence electricity production at approximately 5-10 MPR.  Thereby OUT-competing be current commercial wind generators.  Therefore, there is little or no  concern regarding  high wind disasters

Again, former concerns regarding turbulent locations causing drastically reduced power output, and extreme physical stresses, should no longer be a concern.  Because the stress is absorbed by the INVERTED-SAIL WINDMILL DESIGN itself.  

 Another feature is less land-use with higher electricity production.  This DESIGN can be installed on private proposal property.   

THE WINDMILL TOWER

For safety purposes, it is preferable the   windmill tower be constructed with the mechanism sails approximately 30 ft  from  ground-level. Located away from residences.  If constructed correctly, this  design makes it possible for individual home-use.      Once operational the produced power generated is   transferred down the tower to your power collection system. Excess electricity from battery storage can be sold back to the electric utility company on the grid.  Thereby, making potential profit for individuals owners   

I Hope your utilization of the INVERTED SAIL WINDMILL DESIGN will benefit not only you; however also, one day all of humanity.

Let us make America and the world free of carbon based fossil fuels!

Best Wishes,
