The United States of America consumes nearly 20 million barrels of oil a
day, 6.6 billion per year. This depleting chemical composition, in part,
ends up in our air, on our trees, on our clothing, in our lungs, in our
blood streams. A large portion of this oil is imported causing a
dependency on foreign countries and a significant economic burden to this
country. Clean, renewable, domestic energy is a necessity, not a luxury.
The Z-333 Energy Management System is an answer to this challenge. There
have been many Vertical Axis Wind Turbine patents issued since Mr.
Elhanan L. Stoners' patent in 1891. However it appears that none has yet
manifested itself into a large scale economic reality. The Z-333 Energy
Management System is the latest of a series of improved Vertical Axis
Wind Turbine designs which will make that reality come to pass. The Z-333
Energy Management System includes several novel changes to previously
patented designs, plus incorporates totally new accessories to make man's
continuing conquest of wind an actuality. These innovations include;
Aerodynamic "balanced" wings. Tightly stretched fabric-only wings
strengthening the overall structure, and at the same time, drastically
lower the cost of construction. Flexible photovoltaic cells cover the
aforementioned fabric-only-wings. A rotating tower that is flexible and
safer. A unique high winds shut off switch. A multi-generator braking
system maintains the shaft at a constant RPM. Generators and gears
mounted to removable panels. Rubber-like covered shaft and large ring
transmission. A low cost switch that controls the angle of attack of the
wing with less problems and cost. A tower made of prefabricated
interchangeable modules that can be used as a home, water tank, storage
room, shop, and/or a shed. A base which is also a large battery and/or a
control box shell. A programmable intelligent control box, which notifies
the owner by cell phone, of battery fast charge/discharge, vandalism, key
energy indicators, integrates a multi-circuit station timer, plus
provides an electric-fence-like shock protection from animals and
vandals. Low cost, multi-pancake generator that is highly efficient. A
shaft centered flywheel. A shaft centered centrifugal pump. A sea base
with ballast for low cost erection. A sea base with desalinization
equipment built inside. A sea base with integrated hydrogen and oxygen
producing equipment.
