METHOD OF MOVING LARGE-SIZE OBJECT ON FLOATER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B63H13/00 F03D9/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: method of moving the large-size object, primarily a floating vertical rotation axle windmill power generator on a floater uses the wind power. The floater, below water surface, accommodates, at least, three rotary blades with their vertical rotation axles located at equal distance from the floater center. The floater is jointed with a wind turbine fitted aligned with the floater set to rotation by interaction of wind turbine blades with wind flow. The floater turning, the underwater blades are turned in water about their vertical axes so that the perpendiculars to underwater blades surfaces converge at the floater instant center of turning, the said center being shifted from the floater center along the perpendicular towards the direction of required motion. The distance between the floater instant center of turning and the floater center is measured. The floater is linked to the wind turbine by means of power converter, the said converter moment of load is varied.

EFFECT: large-size object wind-actuated controlled motion.
