20100181777 | Wind turbine generator and motor - A wind turbine includes a quartet of pivot shafts that are in paired parallel relationship and transversely mounted on a central drive shaft. each pivot shaft supports a pair of wings at opposed ends thereof, the wings offset by 90°. Each pivot shaft rotates cyclically through 90° to move each wing from a wind-engaging orientation (drive position) in which the wing presents a flat surface approximately transverse to the incident wind, to a minimum drag position (glide position). In addition, the two wings of each pair on a shaft are disposed in planes that are offset by approximately 90° about their pivot shaft, so that one is in the drive position while the other is in the glide position. The wings of each pair of pivot shafts have wings at the ends thereof that open into the drive position at the same time and rotational angle of the turbine. A backstop at the site of each drive position supports the wind load and transfers its force to the central drive shaft. | 07-22-2010 |
