PROPULSION WINDMILL CONVERTING ROTARY MOTION INTO TRANSLATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F03G3/00 B62D63/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: proposes propulsion windmill is designed to drive vehicles and comprises an inertial-pulsed converter with inertia masses, a mechanism to vary the radius of rotation of the aforesaid masses and a pusher with reciprocating mechanism. The aforesaid mechanism varying the radius of rotation consists of a pair of levers with masses attached to their ends and levers coupled with the shaft to move in angular direction and to rotate and, via con-rods, coupled with the pusher. The drive of the latter represents a rocker-and-slider two-degrees-of-freedom mechanism comprising a link attached to the shaft and furnished with a rocker die moving thereon and coupled via the said con-rod with the axle arranged to reciprocate between the converter and the rocker-and-slider mechanism. The aforesaid axle end provided with a pusher arranged on its end and coupled, via the extra shaft, with the first shaft to rotate the pusher about the axle and together with it, and to interact with the inertia masses via the con-rods.

EFFECT: reduces loads, improved aerodynamics, higher efficiency.
