Supports for rooftop wind turbines

421420956

Design of Aerofoil wing enhancing air flow around buildings to be harnessed by suitable wind turbine with projected efficiency of 3-5 folds of stand-alone turbines
this wing can benefit from present or future building masses and adjacencies to create air entrainments sufficient to power wind turbines with high efficiency. Wing Properties that can help achieve this are 1-Angle of attack of the wing 2-proximity of wing to building external surface more efficiency can be secured with proper positioning of turbines around buildings. The wing acts as the structural support for fixing wind turbines, thus eliminating turbine vibrations from reaching buildings, as well as partially isolating turbine noise.
The Aerofoil consists of a fixed sectional plane. While it’s extrusion in the vertical axis come into a variety of forms, straight, oblique and spiral in all angles 90-180-360 and it’s multiples and fractions.
