This invention changes the nature of what would usually be referred to as wind turbines. It has an internalized containment and control chamber, to more specifically access a maximum of energy throughput, similar to a gas or steam turbine engine. With intake enhancement, velocity increase, compression, and a vacuum induction exhaust port, this invention functions the same as a steam or gas turbine engine, but without the heat. It will have greater efficiency and net energy output than present state of the art wind turbines for all of those reasons. It will also be able to provide useful levels of energy output at lower wind speeds, and will continue to harness wind energy at much higher wind speed than the 3-bladed wind turbines which are present state of the art. Sudden variations in wind speed are more easily tolerated, than with present state of the art wind turbines. Means of increasing available kinetic energy in a moving mass of air, as applied in this invention, are referred to by the inventor as kinetic energy enhancement. This presently preferred version is of a carousel configuration, with its rotor turning horizontally, parallel to the ground. In this configuration, it does not have size limitations usual to present state of the art propeller type wind turbines. It is expected to have a particular advantage as to "economics of scale", where this invention, built as a unit of larger size, could have double the electrical generating capacity of the largest propeller type wind turbines of present state of the art.
