1. A wind turbine system comprising:
a flow consolidating conduit that is close sided and extends from a consolidating conduit upstream end to a consolidating conduit downstream end, the flow consolidating conduit comprising:
an airflow capture inlet at the consolidating conduit upstream end; and
a plurality of flow partitions that subdivide a cross-sectional area of the flow consolidating conduit into three or more flow paths,
each flow partition and each flow path extending between the consolidating conduit upstream end and the consolidating conduit downstream end,
each flow partition having a partition downstream end located upstream of the consolidating conduit downstream end,
at each partition downstream end, adjacent flow paths merging into a merged flow path,
the three or more flow paths gradually merging into a single flow path at the consolidating conduit downstream end,
each flow partition having a partition length, the partition length of each flow partition being different from the partition length of at least one other flow partition;
the cross-sectional area of the flow consolidating conduit decreasing between the consolidating conduit upstream end and the consolidating conduit downstream end toward the consolidating conduit downstream end; and
an air driven rotor assembly having a rotor assembly upstream end located downstream of the consolidating conduit downstream end, the air driven rotor assembly comprising an air driven rotor.
