ORTHOGONAL GENERATING UNIT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F03B13/10 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: orthogonal generating unit consists of orthogonal turbine with shaft and blades of hydro-dynamic profile secured around shaft and along latter and of electric generator. Orthogonal turbine is made six-tiered. Each tier of turbine is made with one blade secured on the shaft by means of cross-bars. All blades are equal in terms of weight per length unit of the blade. The blades of turbine tiers are arranged uniformly in circumferential direction around the shaft of the turbine forming three pairs of adjacent blades. In each pair the blades are positioned on opposite sides relative to the shaft. The blades in end pairs of blades have equal length, while the blades in a middle pair have bigger length. Weights of cross bars of the middle and end pairs of the blades are in the same correlation.

EFFECT: raised efficiency of orthogonal turbines with blades of hydro-dynamic profile and raised reliability of orthogonal turbines operation.
