The Corporate Goal :Creating a Balanced Technological System100% Efficiencyis the ObjectiveW2 Energy DevelopmentCorporation

The Basic Concept for Utilizing the Kinetic Energy in Wind and WaterFirst: Create a System in BalanceWithEqual Weight on Each Side of a Fulcrum22W2 Energy Development Corporation

Then:Reconfigure the Balanced Beam with Devices that have aHigh Potential for Harvesting Wind EnergyCounterbalancingWeightSymmetrical Wings asHarvesting DevicesSubstitute DifferentlyConfigured Weights on eachside of the fulcrum and theSystem remains in balanceW2 Energy Development Corporation

Thereby a Wind Harvesting ProcessA positive Angle ofattack on a wing createsa positive liftA negative angle ofattack createsa negative lift1is Created10Wind EnergyMechanical advantageof 10:1Useful ForceSystem balance changed by thewind force interacting with the wingW2 Energy DevelopmentCorporationPatent granted 12/15/2009

Now Consider The Initial Efficiency of Wind Turbine Bladesas the Ratio of the Total Swept Area to the Total Forward BladeArea in ContactWith the WindLWDisregardedEnergyDisregardedEnergyR= 90 feetHarvested Wind Energy

Projected Harvesting Capability OfEquivalent WindWing Size• If the wings are 180 feet by 20 feet with the angle of attack at 20 odegrees, the exposed wing area is ~3,600 sq. ft. /wing• With six wings the combined area is~ 21,600sq. ft.• With a rectangular swept area of (180 ft x 180 ft ) = 32,400 sq.ft.&ThenThe potential for harvesting wind energy beforeconversion losses = ~21,600/ 32,400 =~65%W2 Energy Development Corporation

Increased Area of ContactMore wind energy is harvested because there is morecontact area exposed to the force of the wind. Dependingon the Angle of Attack this could average 60% of a sweptarea as opposed to 5% or less for the propeller driventurbines

THE TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO FLOWING WATER• In the more dense environment, such as a riveror an aqueduct, the wing can be submerged andthe force of flowing water is captured in thesame manner as the WindWing harvests windenergy.• The following slides present the concept:W2 Energy Development Corporation
