Keeping Cargo Cool With Wind Turbines
A self contained, portable wind power plant to be used in cargo container vessels. Self-contained wind turbines in cargo containers that can be strategically placed within the load of a container ship. This innovation utilizes the wind generated at sea from the movement of a large vessel and natural air flow to ease the burden of the traditional power generators on ships to save fuel used to create electric power for operations. Place a turbine in a cargo container and use a funnel design to enhance the air flow to the wind blades. Wires charge large batteries to be implemented in refrigerated containers and other machines that are on board.
