Claims
- 1. A wind motor that is propelled by the impact of wind against an impeller rotor that travels in the same direction as the on-coming wind comprising:
- a. a unit comprising a pair of impeller rotors which have vanes at the perimeter and which are mounted on a vertical axis, the pair of impeller rotors are substantially in series abreast, the vertical axis of each impeller rotor is journaled by a bearing at the top and bottom sides, the bottom bearings are supported directly by the base platform structure and the top bearings are supported by structure extending up on two sides from the base platform;
- b. at right angle to the face of the rotary impellers are two vertical wind channel directing members, one vertical wind directing member on the left side and the other on the right side, preferably they are spaced widely apart at the outer edge and gradually slope upwardly toward each other at the inner side which is substantially in front of the vanes of these impeller rotors and almost close enough to touch these impeller rotor vanes;
- c. and the angle of slope of these two wind directing channel members can be adjusted by mechanical means to control the speed of the impeller rotors and also to guard against violent destructive winds.
- 2. A wind motor as recited in claim 1, further conprising:
- a. a platform base that is made movable by having wheels mounted on the underside which run on a circular track which is made of firm material so the platform base which holds the wind motor can be turned to face in any direction.
- 3. A wind motor as recited in claim 2, further comprising:
- a. mounted on the movable platform is also an air rudder that is for holding the front of the wind motor toward the on-coming wind when so desired.
- 4. A wind motor as recited in claim 1, further comprising:
- a. two wind shields in series abreast to direct and hold the wind against the impeller vanes of the back side of each of these two vertical impeller rotors;
- b. just behind where the vanes of the impeller rotors almost come together the front ends of these wind shields meet to catch all wind that passes these vanes of the impeller rotors and directs it along one or the other of these wind directing shields;
- c. a top side and bottom side horizontal wind directing channel members to prevent flow-by at the top and bottom sides of the wind collected by the two vertical wind channel members.
- 5. A wind motor that is propelled by the impact of wind against an impeller rotor that travels in the same direction as the on-coming wind comprising:
- a. an impeller rotor with vanes at the perimeter and which is mounted on a vertical axis, the vertical axis of the impeller rotor is journaled by a bearing at the top and bottom sides, the bottom bearing is supported by the base platform structure and the top bearing is supported by structure extending up on two sides from the base platform;
- b. at right angle to the face of the impeller rotor are two vertical wind directing channel members, one vertical wind directing member on the left side and the other on the right side, preferably they are spaced widely apart at the outer edge and gradually slope inwardly toward each other at the inner side which is substantially in front of the vanes of this vertical impeller rotor, one of these vertical wind directing channel members overlap at least one half of the vertical impeller rotor, and the outside vertical wind directing channel member inner edge comes to substantially just a small distance from the outer edge of the vanes of this vertical impeller rotor;
- c. and the angle of slope of these two wind directing channel members can be adjusted by mechanical means to control the speed of the impeller rotor and also to guard against violent destructive winds.
- 6. A wind motor as recited in claim 5, further comprising:
- a. a platform base that is made movable by having wheels mounted on the underside which run on a circular track which is made of firm material so the platform base which holds the wind motor can be turned to face in any direction.
- 7. A wind motor as recited in claim 5, further comprising:
- a. a shield that joins the inner edge of the outside vertical wind directing channel to direct and hold the wind against the vanes at the back side of this single impeller rotor.
- 8. A wind motor as recited in claim 6, further comprising:
- a. mounted on the movable platform that can revolve in a circle is an air rudder that is for holding the front of the wind motor towards the on-coming wind when so desired.
- 9. A wind motor as recited in claim 5, further comprising:
- a. two horizontal directing channel members one at the top side and one at the bottom side to prevent flow-by of air at the top and bottom sides.
