Abstract

An industrial structure for wind energy harvesting includes an industrial housing requiring venting and a vent outlet, An industrial fan associated with the vent outlet evacuates exhaust, forming an exhaust flow zone opposite the vent outlet. The exhaust flow zone is defined by first and second boundaries extending from the industrial structure on first and second sides of the vent outlet. At least one wind turbine is positioned external to the vent outlet including a turbine blade portion and an electric generator. The at least one wind turbine is positioned with respect to the vent outlet such that during each rotational cycle, the blade portion is partially within the exhaust flow zone and partially outside the exhaust flow zone straddling the first boundary.
