POWER PLANT TO CONVERT ENERGY OF AIR OR WATER FLOW CURRENTS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F03D5/06 F03B17/06 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power plant for conversion of energy of air or water flow currents comprises a power takeoff shaft and a wing or an airfoil section kinematically connected to it. The power takeoff shaft is arranged in the form of a crankshaft. The crankshaft is equipped with a journal with sides and two L-shaped levers. Each lever with its one arm is rigidly connected to an axis of rotation for power takeoff, and with the other arm - to the appropriate side of the journal. The wing or the airfoil section is connected to this crankshaft by means of slings. The rear edge of the wing via bearings is connected with slings to the axis of the crankshaft journal, and the front edge of the wing - via bearings to coaxial arms of L-shaped levers.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to simplify design and to reduce metal intensity of a power plant.
