Abstract
The basic studies conducted on the utilizing of wind tunnels for investigating the character and capacity of Shijoka have already been reported by M. Hashizume, Y. Ikeda, etc. in Scientific Papers of Hofu Salt Experiment Station 10,111 (1958), 12, 76-79, 98-106 (1959).
In this report, we try to investigate, as application experiments of the results of our previous studies, the new vertical system concentrator which utilizes the high efficiency of Shijoka, by making use of the energy of natural wind.
In our experiment, guide plates were placed on the both sides of the Shijoka in order to regulate the direction of wind. Then the utilization of wind was investigated in the case those guide plateswere used for the Shijoka. In these experiments, we made a study as to how to rationalize the arrangement of Shijokas.
