Abstract

L'invention concerne une turbine éolienne améliorée qui est utilisée pour convertir de l'énergie éolienne en énergie électrique. La forme de la turbine éolienne est similaire à un ensemble de bagues circulaires concentriques. Elle a un minimum de trois bagues pour fixer les pales. Elle a plusieurs pales fortes. Chaque pale a 6 pouces de long, et 4 pouces de large. Chaque pale est séparée de 1 pied vis-à-vis des autres. Toutes les pales sont fixées à un angle optimal entre 100 degrés et 130 degrés. Elle a un moyeu pour l'attachement à l'arbre d'entrée du générateur. Elle est basée sur le principe d'une éolienne destinée à convertir de l'énergie éolienne en énergie de rotation, de l'énergie de rotation en énergie mécanique, et de l'énergie mécanique en énergie électrique.
