About the
technology: The system is consists of two
huge wind barriers, Barrier-1 and Barrier-2. The barriers has a large number of
windows. The windows of the two barriers can collectively close or open with the
help of an electric motor and its associated gear systems that provided on each
of the barrier systems. When the wind flows, each of the barrier system's
windows will collectively open and close alternately. The electric motors of the
windows are operated with the help of an electronic sensor circuit. When one
barrier move to the direction of the wind (180* angle), the other barrier will
move to the opposite direction of the wind (see.fig). Since the rack and pinion
mechanisms that are provided between the barrier systems, when the barrier
systems moves to and fro, the gear system and electric generator connected to
the pinions will rotate (see.fig) and generate electricity.
Unique features: Since the barrier systems acts as a perfect obstacle
to the wind, the entire force of the wind will be applied on the barriers to
move it and so, the exploitation of the wind energy will be theoretically 100%
of the wind energy - (minus) drag of the barriers to the land/water surface +
frictions in the mechanisms. The energy out put can be multiplied by simply
increasing the cross sectional area of the barrier systems. Since the wind
velocity increase with increasing of the altitude, if we increase the height of
the system to at maximum level, we can trap tremendous amounts of wind
energy.
Application: Even though the trapping of the wind energy is very
great, it will be intermittent because of the to and fro movements of the
barrier systems. So, the system can be mainly used for electrolysis water to
generate Hydrogen in large scale.
The system can be constructed on
offshore or onshore. In an offshore system, the barriers can be fixed on boat
shaped floating systems. It is noted that we have a vast areas of windy sea
regions. In an onshore system, the barriers can be rolled on wheels with
vertical and horizontal bearings on a flat rigid surface.
Advantages of an offshore
system:.
a) Wind resource is very high. Studies indicate that about 10
kilometer offshore will provide more constant and high velocity wind.
b) There is no any obstacles on the open sea and so there is no
turbulence in the offshore.
c) Roughness is almost zero in the offshore (it is noted that
roughness even on a plane runway is about 0.5).
d) The wind barrier systems require vast area for the to and fro
movements of the huge barrier systems and also to rotate the system when the
wind direction changes. Since the sea has a tremendous surface area, large
number of systems can be constructed on the sea surface.
Difficulties on the offshore system:
a) Depth of the sea (construction of the supporting stand).
b) Violent winds and waves may destruct the system.
c) Possible corrosion due to the highly corrosive sea water and the wind with
saline water drops to the system.
d) Difficulties due to the tide.
Difficulties on the onshore system:
a) Wind resource is lower than offshore.
b) High turbulence, high roughness, obstacles to the wind
etc.
c) We requires vast area of land area for the construction of
flat rigid platform.
d) Windy areas are not always flat surface, construction of vast
platforms in hilly areas will be difficult.
Some suggestions for the improvements of the technology.
Make the system with light weight and extremely strong, completely
anticorrosive material; maximum play length (rack length), quick and efficient
operations of the windows, construction of the system with huge dimension
(especially height) etc.
* The barrier power plant system can
be also used to exploit the tidal current energy in the sea/ lake. Here we use a
rail system that installed through the seabed/lake to role the barriers to and
fro.
