WIND-DRIVEN POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F03D7/04 F03D11/02 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: wind-driven power plant includes wind wheel with rim and carriage with electric generator. Drive shaft of electric generator is equipped with roller contacting the surface of wind wheel rim. Carriage is hinged to fixed base, thus providing the possibility of roller movement relative to the rim of wind wheel in the direction of contacting surfaces. Roller is made in the form of cone the generatrix of which contacts the wind wheel rim and is perpendicular to its plane. Hub of wind wheel is put with possibility of rotation and axial movement on horizontally located hollow axis. In hollow axis there concentrically installed on thrust bearings is the shaft having the hole with screw thread and on one of the ends of which there rigidly fixed is wind turbine. Hole with screw thread forms screw pair together with the shaft rigidly connected to hub of wind wheel.

EFFECT: increasing the use efficiency of wind-driven power plant due to more complete use of wind energy.
