Say I have a commercial building that has a 24 inch diam. exhaust fan that is blowing approx 40 mph wind out of the building. I wonrder if I can make good use of this wind by mounting a 24-26 inch pipe that may be 6 to 10 ft long on the outside of the building. I imagine cutting out sections in the "tunnel" and setting up electric generators on the outside. The shaft to the generator would be extended and a fan blade such as a paddle wheel type would be attached. the paddle wheel blade could be set into the new wind tunnel so that half of it is inside and half outside. The wind would spin and generate useful power.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I would like to hear them as well as possible details such as types of generators to use and what the output might be. Could enough generators be added to generate a significant amount of power?
Thx,
Jeff
