The WINDWALKER System and design incorporates proven scientific principles of fluid dynamics known and utilized for centuries. These include the Bernoulli Effect, the Venturi Effect, the WINDWALKER Acceleration Methods, as well as other factors which together constitute a quantum leap in the quest to extract maximum efficiency from wind driven energy systems. It is a shrouded system; a round cylinder vertically inclined in which air flows into its base and is accelerated by various means. The kinetic energy produced is then extracted by an electrical generating system.
“Obviously there is considerably more power that can be extracted from the wind. The ability to control the pitch of the blade, and the ability to control the airflow by shrouding the system has many advantages certainly over an open system. So the power producing capability is phenomenal with the WINDWALKER system.” - Dr. Robert Oetting / Professor Emeritus - Aeronautical Engineering
The WINDWALKER system of fluid dynamics requires a paradigm shift in thinking and approach to harnessing and utilizing the power inherent in the wind. Just as those who used the power of a flowing river to turn water wheels for thousands of years had to change their thinking with the advent of the dam, and its ability to concentrate and accelerate the flow of water and thereby increase power output, so we must now change our thinking in relation to utilizing the power of wind.
