Is a Wind Turbine-Powered Building the Future of Energy Generation?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on a patent-pending design for a self-powered building utilizing a 2.5MW wind turbine and a 1,000 HP axial jet fan. The design proposes that the fan, powered initially by an 800kW diesel generator, would switch to wind turbine power, claiming to create excess energy. However, participants unanimously debunk this concept, citing the laws of thermodynamics and energy conservation, asserting that the system cannot produce more energy than it consumes. The consensus is that the proposed system is fundamentally flawed and cannot achieve perpetual energy generation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics and energy conservation principles
  • Familiarity with wind turbine technology, specifically 2.5MW turbines
  • Knowledge of axial jet fan operation and efficiency metrics
  • Basic comprehension of patent processes, particularly provisional patents
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the efficiency ratings and operational parameters of 2.5MW wind turbines
  • Study the principles of energy conservation and thermodynamics in mechanical systems
  • Explore the process and implications of obtaining a provisional patent in the U.S.
  • Investigate the operational characteristics and efficiency of axial jet fans in energy systems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, renewable energy researchers, patent applicants, and anyone interested in the feasibility of wind energy systems and energy conservation principles.

If the fan provides 750kW of energy, even if we ignore the resistance, the wind turbine could only produce 750kW of energy (that would be 100% efficient and that is not possible). Why can you not grasp this?
