2. This High Output Generator (more affectionately
referred to as the “H.O.G.”), is different from the
units you may have been working with or
studying in the past.
The H.O.G. is a low level, vertical axis unit that stands
approximately 90 feet high
It can operate up to 5 individual generators

3. The H.O.G. uses sails just like a sail boat does to capture wind energy and
turn it into electrical energy. Objects that travel as fast as the wind do not
have much power in them but objects that travel slower than the wind
have a lot of power in them. The H.O.G. turns very slow extracting a
greater percentage of the power from the wind.
The H.O.G. is less than 90 feet high so can be placed into service in many
areas that have height restrictions.

A hydraulic accumulator
receives the fluid from a
positive displacement
piston pump located on the
Wind turbine. The
accumulator smoothes out
the
flow and keeps the
pressure constant
The H.O.G. has a total of 2,560 square feet of wind
collection area, that’s a lot of sail and equal to the sides
of 8 semi trucks. This power is then transferred to a
positive displacement piston pump also of our design
that pumps hydraulic fluid into an accumulator and
then to hydraulic motors that turn generators.
There are actually five generators attached to each
machine. When the wind starts up it turns on the first
generator and as the wind goes faster it turns on a
second and a third and a fourth and a fifth generator
until all five generators are on during high winds. By
doing this we control how fast the machines turns as
each once serves as a brake. This way we take
advantage of a wider range of wind speeds making the
machine more efficient.
Any electrical output current needed to fit the
specific task can be accomplished or mixed with any
number of combinations to meet your needs. AC, DC,
110, 220, 440, single phase or three phase all blended
together on the same machine to operate individually
at the same time or as needed by a project.

There are 5 AC generators housed in a building that turn on in
succession as the wind power increases and turn off as it
decreases. These generators are controlled by hydraulic flow valves and
are turned with hydraulic motors. Higher the power
the more electricity produced. The ground location makes maintenance
easy and inexpensive. The generators also act like
brake to keep the wind turbine from over speeding.

6. The generators sit on the ground so they are easy to
maintain. In fact if one of the five generators needs
service the hydraulic valve going to that generator is
closed which takes the generator out of service; that
generator can be serviced while the other four
generators remain operable.
Horizontal axis machines use electronics to convert AC
power to DC power and back to AC power with a
square wave as the output.
The H.O.G. uses generators which generate pure sign
wave AC power from the start not lower quality square
wave electricity.
No costly cranes, no expensive mechanics, no highly
specialized overly expensive generators.

7. The H.O.G. is equipped with a hurricane
release feature which frees the sails so they can
point downwind away from the wind reducing
drag significantly. This increases their
survivability in severe weather conditions,
making them a wise choice in areas prone to
hurricanes and other very high wind situations.
This design is rated at a 2.5 times safety factor
in a category 3 hurricane.
In addition lightening damage is almost
nonexistent with the H.O.G. !!

8. Traditional horizontal Axis wind mills rotating in a
particular compass direction position, will want to stay
where it is; this is a know Gyroscopic effect. It does not
want to turn and yet because the wind direction has
changed the machine must turn to face it. This turning
action causes great amounts of stress over the entire
structural portion of the windmill; causing failures like
towers and blades and transmissions and other bearings to
fatigue wear out or even explosions.
The H.O.G. rotates on a Vertical Axis meaning it never
needs to change compass direction thus there is NO
Gyroscopic Effect or any of the detrimental aspects of it.

11. No environmental issues associated with the H.O.G.
No expensive Aircraft style blades
No pitch control or control box mechanics
No tip brakes or mechanical braking system; no synchronous
inverter system
No weather or tail vane mechanics
No dangerously high RPM’s as the unit is designed for 3 to 5
RPMs
Probably no zoning issues
Most “parts” for the units operational needs can be bought locally
at most any Auto or Farm supply store if needed.
Most mechanical work takes place less than 10 feet off the ground
and can be performed by most anyone that has a mediocre
mechanical ability
The overall cost for our unit is significantly less than a typical,
comparable turbine system.
