FLUID MEDIUM ENERGY CONVERTER (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: wind-power and hydraulic-power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for generating wind and hydraulic energy and converting said energy into electric energy. Proposed converter contains intercoupled platforms installed on circular track, each including mechanically coupled car (truck) and blade (sail). Converter contains additionally vertical post and direction indicator (wind vane), and each platform contains additional unit to change orientation and fixing blade in position interacting with blade and direction indicator (wind vane). Converter is furnished additionally with posts with sprockets and two direction indicators (wind vanes). Sprockets are interconnected by chain, and they interact with corresponding cam disks and direction indicators (wind vanes) installed on two relatively opposite platforms. Converter has additionally central sprocket and posts with sprockets installed on each platform, sprockets of all platforms being connected by chain with central sprocket connected stationary with direction indicator (wind vane) or angular position lock.

EFFECT: simplified design of converter, increased power and sensitivity to weak flows of wind and water.
