A Mixer/Ejector Wind Turbine ("MEWT") system is disclosed which routinely exceeds the efficiencies of prior wind turbines. In the preferred embodiment, Applicants' MEWT incorporates advanced flow mixing technology, single and multi-stage ejector technology, aircraft and propulsion aerodynamics and noise abatement technologies in a unique manner to fluid-dynamically improve the operational effectiveness and efficiency of wind turbines, so that its operating efficiency routinely exceeds the Betz limit. Applicants' preferred MEWT embodiment comprises: an aerodynamically contoured turbine shroud with an inlet; a ring of stator vanes; a ring of rotating blades (i.e., an impeller) in line with the stator vanes; and a mixer/ejector pump to increase the flow volume through the turbine while rapidly mixing the low energy turbine exit flow with high energy bypass wind flow. The MEWT can produce three or more time the power of its un-shrouded counterparts for the same frontal area, and can increase the productivity of wind farms by a factor of two or more. The same MEWT is safer and quieter providing improved wind turbine options for populated areas.

This application claims priority from Applicants' U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/919,588, filed Mar. 23, 2007 (hereinafter "Applicants' Provisional Application"). Applicants hereby incorporate the disclosure of Applicants' Provisional Application by reference.
The present invention deals generally with axial flow turbines. More particularly, it deals with axial flow wind turbines.
Wind turbines usually contain a propeller-like device, termed the "rotor", which is faced into a moving air stream. As the air hits the rotor, the air produces a force on the rotor in such a manner as to cause the rotor to rotate about its center. The rotor is connected to either an electricity generator or mechanical device through linkages such as gears, belts, chains or other means. Such turbines are used for generating electricity and powering batteries. They are also used to drive rotating pumps and/or moving machine parts. It is very common to find wind turbines in large electricity generating "wind farms" containing multiple such turbines in a geometric pattern designed to allow maximum power extraction with minimal impact of each such turbine on one another and/or the surrounding environment.
The ability of a rotor to convert fluid power to rotating power, when placed in a stream of very large width compared to its diameter, is limited by the well documented theoretical value of 59.3% of the oncoming stream's power, known as the "Betz" limit as documented by A. Betz in 1926. This productivity limit applies especially to the traditional multi-bladed axial wind/water turbine presented in
Attempts have been made to try to increase wind turbine performance potential beyond the "Betz" limit. Shrouds or ducts surrounding the rotor have been used. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,218,011 to Hiel et al. (see
Values two times the Betz limit allegedly have been recorded but not sustained. See Igar, O., Shrouds for Aerogenerators, AIAA Journal, October 1976, pp. 1481-83; Igar & Ozer, Research and Development for Shrouded Wind Turbines, Energy Cons. & Management, Vol. 21, pp. 13-48, 1981; and see the AIAA Technical Note, entitled "Ducted Wind/Water Turbines and Propellers Revisited", authored by Applicants ("Applicants' AIAA Technical Note"), and accepted for publication. Copies can be found in Applicants' Information Disclosure Statement. Such claims however have not been sustained in practice and existing test results have not confirmed the feasibility of such gains in real wind turbine application.
To achieve such increased power and efficiency, it is necessary to closely coordinate the aerodynamic designs of the shroud and rotor with the sometimes highly variable incoming fluid stream velocity levels. Such aerodynamic design considerations also play a significant role on the subsequent impact of flow turbines on their surroundings, and the productivity level of wind farm designs.
Ejectors are well known and documented fluid jet pumps that draw flow into a system and thereby increase the flow rate through that system. Mixer/ejectors are short compact versions of such jet pumps that are relatively insensitive to incoming flow conditions and have been used extensively in high speed jet propulsion applications involving flow velocities near or above the speed of sound. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,761,900 by Dr. Walter M. Presz, Jr, which also uses a mixer downstream to increase thrust while reducing noise from the discharge. Dr. Presz is a co-inventor in the present application.
Gas turbine technology has yet to be applied successfully to axial flow wind turbines. There are multiple reasons for this shortcoming. Existing wind turbines use non-shrouded turbine blades to extract the wind energy. As a result, a significant amount of the flow approaching the wind turbine blades flows around and not through the blades. Also, the air velocity decreases significantly as it approaches existing wind turbines. Both of these effects result in low flow through, turbine velocities. These low velocities minimize the potential benefits of gas turbine technology such as stator/rotor concepts. Previous shrouded wind turbine approaches have keyed on exit diffusers to increase turbine blade velocities. Diffusers require long lengths for good performance, and tend to be very sensitive to oncoming flow variations. Such long, flow sensitive diffusers are not practical in wind turbine installations. Short diffusers stall, and just do not work in real applications. Also, the downstream diffusion needed may not be possible with the turbine energy extraction desired at the accelerated velocities. These effects have doomed all previous attempts at more efficient wind turbines using gas turbine technology.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an axial flow wind turbine that employs advanced fluid dynamic mixer/ejector pump principles to consistently deliver levels of power well above the Betz limit.
It is another primary object to provide an improved axial flow wind turbine that employs unique flow mixing (for wind turbines) and control devices to increase productivity of and minimize the impact of its attendant flow field on the surrounding environment located in its near vicinity, such as found in wind farms.
It is another primary object to provide an improved axial flow wind turbine that pumps in more flow through the rotor and then rapidly mixes the low energy turbine exit flow with high energy bypass wind flow before exiting the system.
It is a more specific object, commensurate with the above-listed objects, which is relatively quiet and safer to use in populated areas.
A mixer/ejector wind turbine system (nicknamed the "MEWT") for generating power is disclosed that combines fluid dynamic ejector concepts, advanced flow mixing and control devices, and an adjustable power turbine.
In the preferred embodiment, the MEWT is an axial flow turbine comprising, in order going downstream: an aerodynamically contoured turbine shroud having an inlet; a ring of stators within the shroud; an impeller having a ring of impeller blades "in line" with the stators; a mixer, attached to the turbine shroud, having a ring of mixing lobes extending downstream beyond the impeller blades; and an ejector comprising the ring of mixing lobes (e.g., like that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,761,900) and a mixing shroud extending downstream beyond the mixing lobes. The turbine shroud, mixer and ejector are designed and arranged to draw the maximum amount of fluid through the turbine and to minimize impact to the environment (e.g., noise) and other power turbines in its wake (e.g., structural or productivity losses). Unlike the prior art, the preferred MEWT contains a shroud with advanced flow mixing and control devices such as lobed or slotted mixers and/or one or more ejector pumps. The mixer/ejector pump presented is much different than used in the aircraft industry since the high energy air flows into the ejector inlets, and outwardly surrounds, pumps and mixes with the low energy air exiting the turbine shroud.
In this first preferred embodiment, the MEWT comprises: an axial flow wind turbine surrounded by an aerodynamically contoured turbine shroud incorporating mixing devices in its terminus region (i.e., an end portion of the turbine shroud) and a separate ejector duct overlapping but aft of said turbine shroud, which itself may incorporate advanced mixing devices in its terminus region.
In an alternate embodiment, the MEWT comprises: an axial flow wind turbine surrounded by an aerodynamically contoured turbine shroud incorporating mixing devices in its terminus region.
First-principles-based theoretical analysis of the preferred MEWT indicates that the MEWT can produce three or more time the power of its un-shrouded counterparts for the same frontal area, and increase the productivity of wind farms by a factor of two or more.
Applicants believe, based upon their theoretical analysis, that the preferred MEWT embodiment will generate three times the existing power of the same size conventional wind turbine.
Other objects and advantages of the current invention will become more readily apparent when the following written description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings in detail,
In the preferred embodiment (see
The center body 103 MEWT 100, as shown in
Applicants have calculated, for optimum efficiency in the preferred embodiment 100, the area ratio of the ejector pump 122, as defined by the ejector shroud 128 exit area over the turbine shroud 102 exit area will be between 1.5 and 3.0. The number of mixer lobes (e.g., 120 a) would be between 6 and 14. Each lobe will have inner and outer trailing edge angles between 5 and 25 degrees. The primary lobe exit location will be at, or near, the entrance location or inlet 129 of the ejector shroud 128. The height-to-width ratio of the lobe channels will be between 0.5 and 4.5. The mixer penetration will be between 50% and 80%. The center body 103 plug trailing edge angles will be thirty degrees or less. The length to diameter (L/D) of the overall MEWT 100 will be between 0.5 and 1.25.
First-principles-based theoretical analysis of the preferred MEWT 100, performed by Applicants, indicate: the MEWT can produce three or more time the power of its un-shrouded counterparts for the same frontal area; and the MEWT can increase the productivity of wind farms by a factor of two or more. See Applicants' AIAA Technical Note, identified in the Background above, for the methodology and formulae used in their theoretical analysis.
Based on their theoretical analysis, Applicants believe their preferred MEWT embodiment 100 will generate three times the existing power of the same size conventional wind turbine (shown in
In simplistic terms, the preferred embodiment 100 of the MEWT comprises: an axial flow turbine (e.g., stator vanes and impeller blades) surrounded by an aerodynamically contoured turbine shroud 102 incorporating mixing devices in its terminus region (i.e., end portion); and a separate ejector shroud (e.g., 128) overlapping, but aft, of turbine shroud 102, which itself may incorporate advanced mixing devices (e.g., mixer lobes) in its terminus region. Applicants' ring 118 of mixer lobes (e.g., 120 a) combined with the ejector shroud 128 can be thought of as a mixer/ejector pump. This mixer/ejector pump provides the means for consistently exceeding the Betz limit for operational efficiency of the wind turbine.
Applicants have also presented supplemental information for the preferred embodiment 100 of MEWT shown in
The length of the turbine shroud 102 is equal or less than the turbine shroud's outer maximum diameter. The length of the ejector shroud 128 is equal or less than the ejector shroud's outer maximum diameter. The exterior surface of the center body 103 is aerodynamically contoured to minimize the effects of flow separation downstream of the MEWT 100. It may be longer or shorter than the turbine shroud 102 or the ejector shroud 128, or their combined lengths.
The turbine shroud's entrance area and exit area will be equal to or greater than that of the annulus occupied by the turbine stage 104, but need not be circular in shape so as to allow better control of the flow source and impact of its wake. The internal flow path cross-sectional area formed by the annulus between the center body 103 and the interior surface of the turbine shroud 102 is aerodynamically shaped to have a minimum area at the plane of the turbine and to otherwise vary smoothly from their respective entrance planes to their exit planes. The turbine and ejector shrouds' external surfaces are aerodynamically shaped to assist guiding the flow into the turbine shroud inlet, eliminating flow separation from their surfaces, and delivering smooth flow into the ejector entrance 129. The ejector 128 entrance area, which may be noncircular in shape (see, e.g.,
Optional features of the preferred embodiment 100 can include: a power take-off 130 (see
MEWT 100, when used near residences can have sound absorbing material 138 affixed to the inner surface of its shrouds 102, 128 (see
Note that Applicants' alternate MEWT embodiments, shown in
Applicants' alternate MEWT embodiments are variations 200, 300, 400, 500 containing zero (see, e.g.,
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that obvious structural modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. For example, slots could be used instead of the mixer lobes or the ejector lobes. In addition, no blocker arm is needed to meet or exceed the Betz limit. Accordingly, reference should be made primarily to the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.

Mengo Senior School, also Mengo SS, is a comprehensive, mixed day school in Kampala, Uganda's capital. As of December 2014[update], it had a population of 3716 students, 144 teachers, 28 technical staff and more than 30 support staff.
Mengo SS is located on Namirembe Hill, along Hoima Road, in Lubaga Division, in the northwestern part of Kampala, the capital and largest city in Uganda. The coordinates of Mengo Senior School are:0°19'14.0"N, 32°33'42.0"E (Latitude:0.320556; Longitude:32.561667).[1]
Having been founded in 1895 by the Church Missionary Society, the school is the oldest school in Uganda. According to the school magazine, Akwana, the school complex started as an informal home school where a missionary, Miss Chadwick, taught reading and writing. Her students were mainly youth who came to her house for prayers every afternoon.
Most of the boys Chadwick taught were houseboys of the missionaries. After a while, she began sending them to Chiefs, asking that the latter send their children to her for lessons. Soon, the potential of her efforts began to be noticed. As the number of Chadwick's learners grew, it was realised that her house was no longer sufficient to serve as a school. The missionaries, eager to use formal education to fuel their religious work, established a standard formal school on Chadwick's foundation.
In 1895, an elementary mixed school known as Kayanja was founded at Mengo, making it one of the first standard formal schools in Uganda. The school's location and appearance are thus described by A. K. Sempa in his 1941 article African Schools. The first school building was a reed-walled structure, with a grass-thatched roof.
The magazine points out that most of the first students who enrolled in the first Mengo School (Kayanja) became school masters posted by Church Councils to rural areas. Many became clerks and chiefs. The number of learners attending the school grew. It soon became necessary to house the learners in a boarding school. The then Prime Minister of Buganda (Katikkiro), Sir Apollo Kaggwa, gave them his house on Namirembe Hill, which they used for nine years.
But the numbers kept growing, with students coming from as far as Busoga, Bunyoro, Toro and Ankole. As a result, a larger school was needed. In June 1904, the Church Missionary Society held a conference where it was resolved to build two new schools. One on Namirembe Hill and another at Buddo.
The schools were to produce men fit to serve God. By the end of 1904, a boarding school had been set up. The school was named Mengo High School, with a total of 250 students. The subjects taught included arithmetic, geography and elementary science.[2]

ATLANTA -- Boston-based businessman Steve Belkin suffered a setback on Tuesday in his long-running attempt to buy out the other owners of the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Thrashers.
The Maryland Court of Special Appeals threw out a 2006 lower court ruling that Belkin is entitled to buy out his fellow Hawks-Thrashers owners at cost and take over the teams. Also at stake are the operating rights to Philips Arena.
The case was sent back to the Montgomery County (Md.) Circuit

"I did an inventory this morning, and we're missing two," Churchill said.
Despite Maine's harsh winters, during which temperatures sometimes struggle to get above 10 degrees for a week at a time, Knight stayed at his encampment and avoided making campfires so he wouldn't be detected, and he used propane only for cooking, Hughes said. To stay warm, he would bundle himself in multiple sleeping bags, authorities said.
When arrested, Knight was clean-shaven and his hair was cut short, in contrast to the iconic hermit with a shaggy beard and long hair. He was still using his aviator-style eyeglasses from the 1980s.
"When we went to the site where he has been living, it only took a few minutes looking around and making observations such as ropes that were imbedded in the trees that had grown around them that he used to hold his tarps up, shoes that were under rocks that had been there for years, there was enough indication to me ... that he had been there for a lot of years," said Hughes.
During questioning after his arrest, Knight said that the last verbal contact he had with another person was during the 1990s, Vance said.
"He passed somebody on a trail and just exchanged a common greeting of hello and that was the only conversation or human contact he's had since he went into the woods in 1986," Vance said.
The trooper said that the case of the North Pond hermit sometimes seemed a "myth" that might go unsolved and bringing it to a conclusion is "amazing."
"I think it's still sinking in," Vance said. "I don't think I will ever be involved in such an incident or case it this magnitude."
Knight had been charged only with the Pine Tree Camp burglary, in which $238 worth of goods were taken, and was being held at the jail on $5,000 bail on burglary and theft charges.
Knight had attended a high school in Fairfield, about 20 miles away.
Why he decided to disappear in the woods remained a question on Wednesday.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Diana Nyad addresses the crowd of supporters in Key West following her historic feat.
Congratulations to the amazing Diana Nyad, who has made history by becoming the first person to swim the Florida straits from Cuba to the Florida Keyes without the security of a shark cage. The long-distance swimmer arrived at the shoreline of Key West just before 2:00 p.m. on September 2, 2013 after 53 hours in the water. The 64-year-old was greeted by cheering crowds of fans as she triumphed on her fifth attempt to achieve a "life-long dream."
As Alistair Jamieson and Tracy Connor reported on NBC News, "Her tongue and lips were swollen by sun and seawater, and she had abrasions in her mouth from a special silicone mask meant to keep the jellyfish at bay. At two miles out, Nyad seemed to realize that she was on the cusp of success and she paused to thank assistants gathered on 10 boats."
"I am about to swim my last two miles in the ocean," she told her handlers as she closed in on Key West. "This is a lifelong dream of mine and I'm very very glad to be with you," she added, praising her team. "So let's get going so we can have a whopping party."
Only one swimmer, Australian Susie Maroney, had previously crossed the Florida straits. But during Maroney's 1977 swim, she used a protective cage.
Nyad departed on her quest Saturday morning and arrived a day earlier than original estimates.
As Linda Rapp observes in her glbtq entry on Nyad that the determined athlete first earned fame as a long-distance swimmer and then went on to become a respected sports commentator on television and radio. In recent years, she has spoken out on issues of glbtq rights, especially in sports.
Nyad's career in swimming took her to exotic locales around the globe, including the Suez Canal, the North Sea, the Nile, the Parana River in Argentina, the Bay of Naples, and the Great Barrier Reef. Her 102.5-mile journey from the Bahamas to Florida in 1979 set a record that stood until today as the longest swim by an athlete not using a shark cage or fins.
The early effort by Nyad that most drew the attention of the American public was a swim around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Although Nyad's lesbianism was something of an open secret, she was not among the most visible members of the glbtq community until 1999, when she participated in a forum sponsored by the New York Times on gay and lesbian athletes that also included Dave Kopay--a retired football player who had the courage to become the first man in one of the four major United States team sports to come out as gay--and Billy Bean, a retired major league baseball player.
Nyad also hosted an episode of the PBS series In the Life (April 2007) entitled "The Last Closet" that dealt with the prejudice faced by glbtq athletes. The program featured an interview with retired professional basketball player John Amaechi, who recounted the painful experience of having to conceal his homosexuality during his career.
Nyad narrated the documentary Training Rules (2008, directed by Dee Mosbacher and Fawn Yacker), concerning the lawsuit filed in 2006 by student-athlete Jennifer Harris against Pennsylvania State University and its women's basketball coach, Rene Portland, whose "training rules" had, for over two decades, included "no drinking, no drugs, and no lesbians."
Some thirty years after her active career as a long-distance swimmer Nyad returned to the water to attempt a marathon swim from Cuba to Key West without a shark cage in August 2011 on the eve of her sixty-second birthday. She had first tried to make the passage between the two countries in 1978 but had to be pulled--protesting--from the water after high winds and swelling waves had driven her hopelessly off course.
Nyad's second effort at the swim ended after approximately twenty-nine hours, the last twelve of which she spent battling an asthma attack and pain in her right shoulder.
"I do not feel at peace with the way this ended," she said at the time, [but] "I feel proud of what I did. . . . I would have tried anything to get there. I would have crawled or dog-paddled to the shore if I'd needed to. If I had seen the lights of the Florida shoreline, I would have found a way to get there. . . . I showed what a human being can do, but I didn't complete what a swimmer can."
The following month Nyad made yet another attempt that she also had to abandon after being stung so many times by Portuguese man o' war jellyfish that medics warned that risking another strike could endanger her life.
Warm congratulations to Diana Nyad on her amazing achievement and, even more, on her refusal to give up.
The newsclip below depicts Nyad arriving in Key West and addressing her admirers.

48 year old man | Boca Raton, FL, USA | Seeking women 32-48 within 50 miles
I am a 48 year old single male, living in Boca...
I am a 48 year old single male, living in Boca Raton, and work in Deerfield Beach I have lived down here for 19 years, having lived in Chicago, LA (graduated from USC) and DC prior, though this is home for good (or so I think). I am real active physically, I play (soccer and baseball), coach and like to watch sports, although I am not the type to say, "have to watch the game" and forsake all other activities. I like to go out and have fun, also explore culture, but not adverse to a night of nothingness in the company of another. Family is very important to me, as I moved down here to be closer to my parents (oh and the last blizzard I went through too). I have some really good friends, but as we get older more and more of them are married with children, so it would be great to meet someone to spend time with.I am just looking for someone who likes to have fun, takes care of herself, preferably works out and eats healthy (though since I have a sweettooth not too healthy). Trust and communication are very important. By the way, the line "want kids" my answer is "no answer" because it really depends on the person and the situation. In the right situation, the answer is yes, but if I meet someone who doesn't want kids or any more kids, I am fine too. It is more about the person.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Playing sports , Political interests , Watching sports
Baseball, Cycling, Football, Hockey, Running, Soccer, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs, Fish
I like Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc.
Middle of the Road
I am not really a club person, but I do like pubs, sports bars and places with live music. Mizner, Delray, Las Olas and Riverfront.
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
I am real active physically, I teach spinning, play soccer, baseball,SCUBA certified. I also coach kids soccer. I like to go out and have fun, I like to go to pubs/sports bars (over the clubs), go to sporting events, and concerts.
