Improvements to wind farms and wind generators for harnessing wind energy
or generating electricity from wind. Secondary wind turbines are provided
at particular locations within a wind farm to generate additional
electricity, in some embodiments, using a common electrical power
collection system. Enclosures or venturis may surround wind turbines to
facilitate mounting close to the ground. Venturis may accelerate wind
speed through the turbine and may have a particular shape, may be made of
particular materials arranged in particular ways, or both. In different
embodiments, wind turbines may be axial-flow horizontal-axis turbines, or
may be Savonius turbines, as examples. And in some embodiments, wind
turbines may be combined with other power production equipment, such as
solar power equipment, for instance.
