 Abstract 

It is a new kind of a WPP invented by me. It is most energy effective than any other WPP   and has very simple design, and its electricity is about 0.3 USA cents per kWh!!! 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 big sail of canvas or plastic foil, and four small floats placed symmetrically at a distance from the said sail are serving to compensate a torque force of the wind on the sail, and a WTWB (water turbine with window leaf’ blades) fixed underwater to the boat, it produces electricity. A system of such boats is a wind power plant.

For example, the sail of 20 meter width and 10 meter height serves to harvest wind power and then by the WTWB gives electricity of ~10 kW and about 0.3 USA cents per kWh at average weather conditions in Atlantic between Europe and USA, when the said boats goes a round-trip perpendicularly to wind direction.
On-board the said electricity is feeding some small magnetrons and their microwaves are concentrated on a tiny focus inside a small vessel with the water and thermally splitting such tiny area of the water giving hydrogen, is used on-board for ammonia production from the said hydrogen and nitrogen. The last is delivered periodically for the said boat in storage quantity in compact pressed form from a floating factory serving to extract the nitrogen from the atmospheric air. The small part of the said ammonia gives energy for the factory, while a lion share of the ammonia in its liquefied form is the end product of the business.

Note:

(1) the ammonia can be produced by nitrogen-hydrogen fuel cell or by classical Huber-Bosch process or by metal hydride and nitride chemical cycles;  

(2) the gaseous ammonia is liquefied at quite low pressure;

(3) the ammonia is excellent for energy storage and for energy transportation, and then for distributed power generation.

  1. Wow... Use of wind power to generation energy by new kind of wind power plant is awesome. It seems very efficient and set new era in power generation in Israel.
