A wind-generated power system for producing supplemental electrical power from wind-producing resource. The wind-generated power system includes a subway system tunnel having a wall and support structure with wind being generated by subway trains passing or traveling at high rates of speed therethrough; and also includes wind-collecting ducts being spaced throughout the subway system tunnel and being attached to the wall and support structure; and further includes shrouds being mounted to the wall and support structure and being connected to the wind-collecting ducts; and also includes turbine generators being mounted in the shrouds and being adapted to transform wind to electrical power.

1. A wind-generated power system comprising:a subway system tunnel having a wall and support structure with wind being generated by subway trains passing or traveling at high rates of speed therethrough; wind-collecting ducts being spaced throughout said subway system tunnel and being attached to the wall and support structure, each of said wind-collecting ducts including a wind intake opening and a wind outlet opening, and also including a venturi disposed near said wind outlet opening to accelerate the wind being collected through said wind intake opening, each said venturi being generally a funnel having a constricted passageway through which the wind is accelerated upon leaving said wind-collecting duct, each of said wind-collecting ducts being generally sinusoidal-shaped having a wind intake portion being disposed in said subway system tunnel, and further having a wind outlet portion being disposed upon the wall and support structure; shrouds being mounted to the wall and support structure and being connected to said wind-collecting ducts, each of said shrouds including a front wall and a bottom wall, and also including a hole being disposed through said front wall and an opening being disposed through said bottom wall, said funnels being disposed upon said holes in said front walls of said shrouds, said shrouds being disposed upon the wall and support structure with said openings in said bottom walls being disposed upon the wall and support structure; and turbine generators being mounted in said shrouds and being adapted to transform wind to electrical power, said wind turbine generators including support members and turbine members which are securely mounted upon said support members and which are disposed in said shrouds to effectively rotate upon the wind being accelerated into said shrouds through said funnels.
