Fresh look on wind power generation Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, Israel, retired engineer judbarovski@gmail.com , Linkedin: David Judbarovski [3749]-25/06/2017, {149}-( 1 4)- 0 8. 07 .2017 Abstract It is a new kind of a wind power generator. Its energy effectiveness can be close to 100%, while it has very simple design, and its electricity is about 0.3 USA cents per kWh, because a lion share of the said cost is a share of a geared electric generator. It works in open sea in principle, while global wind kinetic power is about 20.0 milliard kW. The power generation unit is a small pilotless boat with a flat sail. Four small floats placed symmetrically at a distance from the boat, are serving to compensate a torque force of the wind on the sail. A relatively small water wheel with three blades in a form of window leaf each (WWWL) is fixed underwater to the boat moved by the sail. At any moment only one window leaf is closed by the fron...
