WIND POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS DRIVEN BY FLY WHEEL

A wind power conversion apparatus driven by a fly wheel comprises a wind channel, a fly wheel and a rotating shaft. The wind channel is configured into a long hollow tapered tubular shape with an opening at each end thereof. An opening at one end, which being larger in cross section, serves as a wind inlet, while an opening end at the other end which being smaller in cross section serves as a wind outlet so as to conduct the wind flow into the apparatus via the wind channel. A fly wheel with several wind vanes is installed in the wind channel proximate to the wind outlet so as to convert the wind force into an adjustable rotating torque of the fly wheel. The fly wheel is able to keep rotating about the rotating shaft by its inertia for a certain duration of time even after the wind ceases to blow. With this apparatus, the kinetic energy of the wind flow is converted into an adjustable and storable mechanical energy to utilize.
