Politics article : Spark Propulsion Assist for Wind Turbine Generators
 

News and Society > Politics > Spark Propulsion Assist for Wind Turbine Generators

The most modern Wind Generators are huge with some of the blades of the propellers over three stories high. A large fan blade or propeller moving that is that large not only moves through a lot of airflow, but it indeed picks up a lot of static electricity, which can be of detriment to the electrical system and cause corrosion. It may also be very important to consider the issues during lightning storms as bolts of lightning look for discharge and energy from the ground will go back up again.

I propose setting up static collectors to capture the electromagnetic energy caused by the friction of the wind turbine generator propeller moving through the air. I propose that we use two sets of blades, which are offset from each other and then having these electromagnetic spark

collectors to fire in series once the wind turbine is already moving to allow it to move a steady clip between wind gusts. This should improve efficiency by between 16 - 22.8% depending on the wind speed, size of propellers and the differential in relative wind and wind gusts during the period of measurement.

There is no sense in wasting any kind of energy, even static electricity caused by friction and picked up by the wind turbine blades as they generate electricity. If the energy collected can be put back into the system, we can improve the efficiency of the wind generators and re-use it, instead of wasting. Think on this.
