Directorly Downwind Faster than the Wind

[Cherryman]

PS.  It works both ways.

High pressure low vollume > Into the small opening   

Low pressure High Vollume > Into the large opening

This is like a jet.
Interesting.

Cherryman, you rock. I was working on ideas with cones encapsuplating a set of incresingly smaller relatively conventional props, but you use the encapsulation AS the prop, letting nothing slip past. That's totally awesome, and every wind turbine should have this. Make more use of the space you got!

How about this amendment:
Your device is mounted a few meters off the ground, where you get good clear winds. A pipe goes out the back of it, to just above the ground. The air is slower there, thus should offer more thrust. Furthermore, ground effect makes it more resistant to expansion. Or would that an undesired effect? Perhaps it depends on the application. For DDWFTTW propulsion, my idea might be an upgrade, but if you just have a unit on your roof to supply the household's power, it's waste of energy. A complicated wind powered hair dryer.

HHMMmmm

I like the idea of a smaller prop doing more work [Techstuff] ?

That would be very nice!![extra nice!!]

PS
Cherryman  very cool!!

A venturi concept? wouldn't you need another "mechanism" to convert
harvested force to mechanical ?

I suppose energy could be harvested from the outside of the rings, incorperated with the external bearing assembly it would need. An O-shaped electric motor,/generator, why not?
