WINDMILL ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: wind-power engineering. SUBSTANCE: windmill electric generating plant has support, rotary blades, control device and generator. Vertical shaft is put on support. Axles of turn of blades are positioned on cantilevers anchored on vertical shaft and are displaced towards front edges of blades. Control device is fabricated in the form of limiters of turn interacting with blades and hinged in brackets made fast to cantilevers. One of limiters of turn is mounted for centrifugal deviation, second limiter is spring-loaded. Generator is kinematically coupled to shaft. EFFECT: enhanced operational reliability and efficiency of plant. 4 dwg
