Abstract

A wind turbine comprises a drum shaped bladed rotor with solar panels mounted on the blades. The turbine may be mounted on an electricity pylon (figure 1) so as to utilise a connected power infrastructure comprising a network of cables and power stations. The turbine may alternatively be mounted on a high building.

Description

WIND DRUM
The wind drum is a device that is designed to use both wind and solar energy for producing power.
At present many wind farms are facing opposition from people who think that they are unsightly and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get planning permission both on land and offshore. They are also expensive to set up due to the cost of acquiring the land and also building the towers.
The wind drum aims to solve these problems. Its design is such that they can be positioned on the top of electricity pylons (Fig 1). Its shape means that unlike ordinary wind turbines which have long blades and would be unsuitable, the drum would not interfere with cables or the surrounding environment.
The wind drum is a circular shape that has numerous blades or vanes that catch the wind in any direction (Fig 3). The vanes are covered in plates that have solar cells which collect the suns rays (Fig 2). Therefore on days where there is little wind but some sun it can still collect energy.
The drum could also be placed in other locations such as high buildings as it is quite compact. However there are some points which means that electricity pylons are the ideal location.
a. The tower is already in place reducing costs for both the land and the construction of the tower.
b. There is already a maintenance arrangement in place for the tower and the cables.
c. The infrastructure for the collection of the power, such as cables and sub stations, is already established.

Claims (3)

  1. CLAIM1. A circular drum shaped wind/solar turbine that is designed to be used in a variety of locations but mainly on the top of electricity pylons (Fig 1).
  2. 2. A wind/solar turbine that is designed to utilise a fully functional power infrastructure which has a network of cables and power stations.
  3. 3. A windlsolar turbine that has blades which capture wind energy and power cells on these blades which collect solar energy Fig 2).
