I studied the manuscript and your design. It is possible to collect the storm, but in your manuscript the channels are converging which increase the wind speed, however it is an interesting idea and can be improved.

This is an interesting idea, i will be delighted to see a working prototype.

however, have you considered the option of using that tech to store energy? I think if you can design the stormbuoy to act like a flywheel or a wind collector device that might prove to be an affordable energy storage device.

I studied the manuscript and your design. It is possible to collect the storm, but in your manuscript the channels are converging which increase the wind speed, however it is an interesting idea and can be improved.

The problem of using strong wind(storm) to generate energy is how to direct the storm in the correct way in order to be maintained. So you can use wind collector with specific guide vans to collect the storm wave in channel leading to be used in generating energy.

Viet Nguyen thanks for your attention, i saw that wind enters from v1 to v9 and then the velocity increases due to convergence of the channel. in the large extended section, the cross section area increases to decrease the velocity, but the increase in cross section change is not so slightly to ensure very low losses, and the wind facing the turbine will not be uniform. At last I must admit that I may make a mistake about your design and you are more expert about that.

Dear Viet Nguyen

In order to use strong wind(storm) in generating energy I would suggest to design the followings:

1-Big wind collector as Reservoir of stored energy in order to be used when you need it.

2- Make a design optimization for suitable geometry ( cross section ,pipe length and outlet )to generate the required energy from incoming storm.

3-I would suggest to read carefully the following attached files to make the design easy.

I was many years ago involved in an analysis of a special system in order to harvest as much as possible from a wind flow for same turbine dimensions (area).

I did not find your manuscript to make any comment on its content. If you can provide it again I shall have a look and answer your question. What is important is to adapt the system to all wind levels if not you are using it only for a limited time/year.
