I always emphasize the importance of, all robot built wind turbines. I thought about one using stacked vertical wind turbines. The electric generator will be a hollow shaft brushless dc motor. This allows weight carrying tower to continue to the upper sections and loads no weight on the motors. The blades will be composed of vertical and horizontal sections. Horizontal blades extend the vertical blades outside the tower to capture the wind. Horizontal blades design allows them to generate vertical lift as they turn. This reduces the weight on the motor bearings and allow the turbine to operate at higher wind speeds.
The stacked design allows more wind to be captured from a single tower. Decreases the weight and dimension of each section to be air lifted by a high-power drone.
The tower will be drone build and drone serviced. Therefore, the tower will not be hollow inside making it thinner and compact. Each section will be carried by drones and mounted on top of each other. Some towers will have less sections to accommodate high power drones to charge themselves.
Vertical turbines can be erected close to each other. They can generate electric from lower wind speeds compared to horizontal wind turbines. Each sections turbine blade design will be slightly different to differentiate the sound pattern of the section from the others. This will reduce noise accumulation. As a result, these towers can be erected close to residential areas. The build process will be fast and will only use electric generated by the wind turbines themselves.
