We'll post an update here as soon as possible about the design including dynamic analysis and mechanical analysis. We appreciate any ideas to improve output energy efficiency, design and related analysis.
Thanks.

Wind Turbine Design and Layout


Wind Turbine Jet

In order to extract energy from a larger area of the approaching wind, smaller, sturdier, and faster blades can be used. We try to design a new idea about the shape of fin, cowl, lobed mixer, rotor and stator. There are some of important parts in this new design of wind turbine jet.

Jet wind turbine



The new design of our wind turbine can be smaller than conventional turbine but can generate more power. Based on the concept of the jet engine’s turbine, our wind turbine’s component can be divided into:

1. Rotor
2. Cowl
3. Lobed Mixer
4. Blades
5. Stator

This is a great step forward. I fully support technologies that optimize energy production geographically. I suspect that the high cost of this technology will be offset by its generous energy production in the not too distant future.

I'm sorry to break your bubble but as an aeronautical engineer with experience designing wind turbines, I can tell you this design will not work efficiently, if a all. Turbines on jet engines are designed the way they are because of the high energy density of the gas coming from the combustor. A wind turbine operates in a very low energy density environment. I do not know why you have a lobed mixer in this either. That will simply reduce the efficiency and will not reduce jet noise (the purpose of a lobed mixer)since there is not high speed jet of air comming out. In fact with two "turbines" and no means of concentrating wind, I suspect that the air coming out will be much slower than the surrounding wind. So slow that wind will simply go around the turbine and little energy will be extracted.
