Abstract
An apparatus includes a blade unit including having upright blades connected fixedly to an upright rod that has a lower end disposed pivotally in a base such that the blade unit is rotatable relative to the base to convert wind energy into a mechanical rotary power output, and coupled to a generator in the base to convert the mechanical rotary power output into electric power.
Each blade has opposite first and second side surfaces.
The first side surface of each blade faces the second side surface of an adjacent blade. A wind-collecting unit includes upright plates fixed on the base, angularly equidistant and disposed around the blade unit. Any two adjacent plates define an inwardly converging wind-guiding channel therebetween. The plates are shaped so that wind is guided by the plates to blow onto the first side surfaces of the blades via the wind-guiding channels.
Each blade has opposite first and second side surfaces.
The first side surface of each blade faces the second side surface of an adjacent blade. A wind-collecting unit includes upright plates fixed on the base, angularly equidistant and disposed around the blade unit. Any two adjacent plates define an inwardly converging wind-guiding channel therebetween. The plates are shaped so that wind is guided by the plates to blow onto the first side surfaces of the blades via the wind-guiding channels.
Claims (14)
1. An apparatus for generating electric power from wind energy, comprising:
a base;
a blade unit including an upright rod extending vertically along a pivot axis and having a lower end disposed pivotally in said base, and an upper end, and at least one blade member having a plurality of upright blades connected fixedly to the upright rod such that said blade unit is rotatable relative to said base about the pivot axis so as to convert wind energy into a mechanical rotary power output, each of said blades having opposite first and second side surfaces, said first side surface of each of said blades facing said second side surface of an adjacent one of said blades;

8. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 3, wherein each of said upright plates of said wind-collecting unit has opposite curved lateral surfaces.
9. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said wind-collecting unit further includes a top wall mounted on top ends of said upright plates and having a bottom surface formed with a positioning groove that permits extension of said upper end of said upright rod of said blade unit thereinto and that is defined by an inner annular surface of said top wall, and a bearing disposed between said inner annular surface of said top wall and an outer annular surface of said upper end of said upright rod of said blade unit.
10. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said wind-collecting unit further includes a plurality of connecting members each interconnecting two corresponding adjacent ones of said upright plates.
11. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 10, wherein each of said connecting members includes a plurality of connecting plates.
12. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said blade unit includes a plurality of said blade members aligned in the pivot axis, said upright blades of each of said blade members being angularly equidistant, said upright blades of said blade members differing angularly from each other.
13. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, further comprising at least one elevator disposed movably in one of said upright plates of said wind-collecting unit.
14. The apparatus as claimed in Claim 1, wherein at least one of said upright plates of said wind-collecting unit further has a plurality of stairs therein.
