ROTARY WINDMILL ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; design and manufacture of windmill electric generating plants for various applications. SUBSTANCE: plant has windmill whose windwheel provided with horizontal power take-off shaft mounts radially positioned conical rotors secured by means of radial bearing supports; rotors carry end diaphragms; rotor cones face with their longer sides the power take-off shaft and with shorter ones, the rotor periphery; cone angle α = 2-4^o.. Windwheel radius from axis of revolution of power take-off shaft to larger diameter of rotor is determined by special relationship; rotor proper is sectionalized by means of one additional separating diaphragm placed on rotor body between end diaphragms; sections of rotor body have different cone angles reducing from windwheel center to rotor periphery. Rotor body sections are designed for separate rotation about longitudinal rotor axis and relative to each other; rotor side surface has different roughness depending on movement from periphery to intermediate portion of rotor body; end diaphragms are S-shaped in diametral sectional area. EFFECT: improved performance of wind stream power. 7 cl, 4 dwg
