==VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES AND DEVICES THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052803 titled 'VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES AND DEVICES THEREFOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a vertical axis wind turbine with a unique nozzle design consisting of two airfoils that create varying inlet and exit areas to enhance wind energy conversion efficiency.

* The nozzle of the vertical axis wind turbine includes a first airfoil and a second airfoil.
* The first airfoil has a leading edge and a trailing edge, while the second airfoil also has a leading edge and a trailing edge.
* The nozzle defines an inlet area between the leading edges of the two airfoils and an exit area between the trailing edges of the two airfoils.
* The exit area is smaller than the inlet area, creating a pressure difference that improves the turbine's performance.

Potential Applications:
* Renewable energy generation
* Urban wind power systems
* Off-grid power solutions

Problems Solved:
* Enhances wind energy conversion efficiency
* Improves performance of vertical axis wind turbines
* Increases power output in low wind conditions

Benefits:
* Higher energy conversion efficiency
* Improved performance in varying wind conditions
* Cost-effective renewable energy solution


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a vertical axis wind turbine including a nozzle is provided. the nozzle includes a first airfoil and a second airfoil. the first airfoil includes a first airfoil leading edge and a first airfoil trailing edge, and the second airfoil includes a second airfoil leading edge and a second airfoil trailing edge. the nozzle defines an inlet area disposed between the first airfoil leading edge and the second airfoil leading edge and an exit area disposed between the first airfoil trailing edge and the second airfoil trailing edge, wherein the exit area is smaller than the inlet area.
