As attorney for the inventor of the innovative new Electric Generating System we are currently seeking investors and manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention. Interested parties can reach the attorney at the contact numbers listed at the bottom of this page.

The energy generating system of the present invention produces low cost electric power without consumption of limited natural resources, pollution, or greenhouse gas emission, and is independent of wind conditions. In turn, the energy generating system of the present invention provides improved means over existing coal and gas fixed power generation as well as nuclear plants and wind mill farms.

The present invention is a system for generating electricity comprising a plurality of towers in communication with a base level conduit housing having a section of smaller diameter containing an air driven turbine connected to a power storage system used to power a generator. The towers are unified at the lower end with a single base enclosure providing means to maximize air speed. The venturi throat with the undershot air wheel is affixed within the single base enclosure. The upper end of each tower can include a venturi like collar to increase air suction.

An air compressor or pump is connected to the shaft of the aforementioned under shot air wheel by means of belt and/or gear system. The compressed air is then transferred to a storage tank suitable for high pressure. A plurality of air compressors and/or storage tanks may be utilized to suit power requirements to run the generator. Additionally, a fluid pump(s) may be utilized in lieu of the air compressor(s).

The compressed air is released and transferred to the generators whirling wheel providing necessary mechanical energy to turn the generator rotor and in turn, means to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Pressure valves and an automatic controller provide means to regulate air flow between the store tanks and to the generator.

Objects of the present invention:

  • to provide a system for generating electricity utilizing continuous reusable energy

  • to provide a system that produces electric power without consumption of limited natural resources, pollution, or greenhouse gas emission, and is independent of wind conditions

  • to provide a system that produces electric power at a low cost

  • to provide a system comprising a plurality of towers in communication with a base level conduit housing having a section of smaller diameter with a turbine connected to a power storage system used to power a generator

  • to provide a system wherein towers are unified at the lower end with a single base enclosure providing means to maximize air speed

The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

Figure 1 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in use. The present invention 10 is a system for generating electricity comprising a plurality of towers 14 in communication with a common base with an air intake venturi conduit 16 extending centrally and horizontally therefrom. The air intake venturi 16 with an air intake port 30 leading to a central venturi throat 28 of smaller diameter containing an air driven turbine connected to a power storage unit 20 used to power rotor 50 of generator 26. The power storage unit 20 is comprised of an air compressor 22 or liquid pump 24 in communication with a power storage tank 34. Additionally providing for an optional venturi-like collar positioned at the top of one or more stacks 14. Ideally the present invention 10 is situated at a high altitude such as a mountain top 36 to take advantage of the high winds which are prevalent in such conditions.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the present invention 10. The present invention 10 is a system and method for generating power from a controlled air flow wherein air flow above a plurality of towers 14 draws ground air into the base 12 through an air intake port 30 and venturi throat 28, turning a turbine air wheel that has a drive shaft 38 leading to a power storage unit 20 for powering an air compressor 22 or liquid pump 23, power storage tank 34 and generator 26. Pressure valves 40 and an automatic controller 42 provide means to regulate air flow between the store tanks 34 and to the rotor 50 of generator 26.

Figure 3 is a sectional view of the present invention 10. Shown is a sectional view of the present invention 10, a system for generating electricity comprising a plurality of towers 14 in communication with a common base 12 having a venturi conduit 16 extending centrally therefrom. A pedal member 44 is disposed in the venturi throat 28 between the air intake port 30 and the turbine wheel 18 and angularly descends from the top of the conduit 16 towards the turbine wheel 18 to deflect air flow to strike the lower fins 46 thereof to effectively rotate the wheel 18. The turbine undershot air wheel 18 is connected to a power storage system used to power a compressor or pump. Also shown is the venturi-like collar 48 positioned at the top of the tower 14.
