Abstract
A wind turbine has a housing, multiple cross-flow fan assemblies, a turbine generator assembly, an air guide and multiple wind-driven fans. The housing has a chamber having top and bottom openings. The cross-flow fan assemblies are mounted on the housing and each has a casing, a cross-flow fan blade and a transmission shaft. The cross-fan blade rotates to provide airflow to the chamber. The turbine generator assembly is mounted in the chamber and has a generator, a generator shaft mounted on the generator and a turbine blade mounted on the generator shaft and driven by the airflow to activate the generator. The air guide is mounted on the transmission shafts and guides airflow outwards. The wind-driven fans are mounted respectively on the transmission shafts and are driven by outward airflow. The wind turbine derives energy from the airflow exiting out of the wind turbine for improved energy extraction efficiency.
