1. A method for converting wind energy from an ambient wind current, the method comprising:

  • positioning a protectively covered intake windward, the intake being substantially normal to a flow of the ambient wind current to receive the wind;

    collecting the wind into a channel having multiple conduits, the channel dividing the collected wind into the multiple conduits, each conduit having an inlet and an outlet;

    concentrating the collected wind in each of the multiple conduits;

    converting the concentrated wind into energy via multiple turbines, each turbine partially intruding into a respective one of the multiple conduits and having blades positioned substantially normal to the flow of the concentrated wind; and

    directing the concentrated wind to a protectively covered exhaust to release the concentrated wind in a substantially leeward direction.
