Air Flow Funnel/Tunnel Air Circulation Harvester
Air Flow Funnel/Tunnel
The Air Flow Funnel or Wind Tunnel system is designed in Five basic Segments, from the
air intake
the air flow is directed threw a
series of air flow
harvesting modules
and then fed into the
direct air capture
system and then passes through
the
Internal Air Intake Zone
and exits into the air
exhaust
management system.
The tunnel concept is designed to be located as a basement or below ground level construction while
the ambient intake and exhaust units are elevated above ground level.
Stage # 1. - Air Intake
The first stage of The Air Flow Funnel or Wind Tunnel system is the Ambient Air Intake.
This system is designed to capture the natural flow of wind and is limited by the dimensions of the intake capture chamber.
If the stationary capture mechanism is allowed to swivel 360 degrees it may be designed with a tail fin
to follow the direction of the wind to maximize capture potential.
Stage # 2. - Air Flow Harvesting
The second stage of The Air Flow Funnel or Wind Tunnel system is comprised of a number of options to deploy
wind or air flow harvesting modules.
These options may include an
Ionic wind
harvester, traditional horizontal wind turbine, vertical or wind wheel modules.
Inherent in wind energy harvesting is the
vibration and sound
pressures that are generated. An effort may be extended to
absorb the vibrational energy to both harvest this energy and dampen vibration and sound.
Stage # 3. - Direct Air Capture System
The third stage of The Air Flow Funnel or Wind Tunnel system is focused around a
direct air capture
System which filters particulates, reduces moisture and may provide the opportunity to capture
CO2
This results in the output of clean dry air.
Stage # 4. - Internal Air Flow Intake Zone
In the fourth stage of The Air Flow Funnel or Wind Tunnel system the clean dry air passes through the Internal Air Flow Intake Zone.
At this stage there is an opportunity to
supply the air flow
feed requirements of the internal working air and air compression systems.
Any air drawn into the internal system will result in an increase in the volume of air drawn into the ambient intake funnel
and moving through the
wind tunnel
system.
The speed & volume of internal intake will increase the velocity of air flow across the entire system.
The amplification of this air draw intensity will result in an increased yield in the energy harvesting modules.
Stage # 5. - Air Exhaust Management System
The fifth stage of The Air Flow Funnel or Wind Tunnel system is the Air Exhaust Management System.
Waste heat derived from within the Recovery 2.0 system may be utilized to cause a chimney effect within the exhaust module.
This chimney effect may act as a driver for the
BASIC AIR DRAW across the entire Funnel/Tunnel system.
