NON-ROTATING WIND ENERGY GENERATOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-rotating wind energy generating apparatus, comprising:
- at least one beam operable to initiate and sustain non-rotational oscillatory motion in response to wind energy;
at least one electromagnetic coil located at a first end of the beam; and
at least a first and a second magnet, wherein the first and second magnets are located at the first end of the beam and the first and second magnets comprise a pair of parallel magnets,wherein oscillatory motion of the beam causes the at least one electromagnetic coil to pass between the first and second magnets located at the first end of the beam so as to generate electrical energy via motion of the beam.

Abstract
In an embodiment of the invention, a non-rotating wind energy generator uses the fluid flow principles of vortex shedding and transverse galloping to generate oscillatory motion of a beam, and alternators, optionally located near both ends of the beam, generate electrical power when the beam is in motion.
