Multi-rotor wind turbine supported by continuous central driveshaft

Co-axial, multi-rotor wind turbines, producing more power than a single rotor of the same diameter, are made even more powerful by increasing driveshaft length and supporting the driveshaft from more than one point. Sacrificing the ability to aim, for the extra length to support additional rotors, results in a more powerful co-axial multi-rotor turbine, especially useful for areas with a predominantly unidirectional wind resource. Ideally the turbine is placed at an offset angle (alpha) from the wind direction, which, in combination with proper spacing between rotors, allows fresh wind to reach each rotor, so that all rotors contribute toward rotation of the driveshaft. Placing the driveshaft under tension can raise critical speeds and reduce the number of intermediate supports required. This places the Earth or underlying substrate in compression, making it effectively part of the structure of the turbine, saving cost. Cross-axis and reversible blades may also be incorporated.

TURBINE APPARATUS FOR GENERATOR

Disclosed is a turbine apparatus for a generator. According to the turbine apparatus of the present invention, a rotation direction of a blade and a rotation direction of a center axis connected to a generation unit form a right angle, and a distance from the center axis to an end of each blade is constant even though the blade revolving around the center axis is located at any position on a revolution orbit. That is, because the distance from the center axis to the end of each blade is constant, according to the rotation and revolution phase of the blade, a variation of the moment due to the rotation and the revolution of the blade decreases noticeably. Therefore, because vibration generation decreases, power generation performance increases and at the same time lifespan is extended. And, because the rotation direction of the blade and the rotation direction of the center axis of the generation unit form the right angle, rotation power of the blade can be delivered to the center axis by ...

Turbine apparatus for generator

발전용 터빈 장치가 개시된다. 본 발명에 따른 발전용 터빈 장치는, 본 발명에 따른 발전용 터빈 장치는 블레이드의 자전방향과 발전유닛측과 연결된 중심축의 자전방향이 직각을 이루고, 중심축을 기준으로 공전하는 블레이드가 공전 궤도상 어느 위치에 위치되어도, 중심축에서 각 블레이드의 단부까지의 거리는 일정하다. 즉, 블레이드의 자전 및 공전 위상에 따라, 중심축에서 각 블레이드의 단부까지의 거리는 일정하므로, 블레이드의 자전 및 공전에 의한 모멘트의 변화가 현저히 감소된다. 따라서, 진동 발생이 감소되므로, 발전 성능이 향상됨과 동시에 수명이 연장되는 효과가 있다. 그리고, 블레이드의 자전방향이 발전유닛의 중심축의 자전방향과 직각을 이루므로, 단순한 운동전달 경로를 통하여 블레이드의 자전력을 중심축으로 전달할 수 있다. 또한, 블레이드가 공전하는 동안 유체의 흐름방향과 같은 방향으로 움직일 때는 항력을 최대한 이용하고, 유체의 흐름방향과 반대방향이나 직각방향으로 움직일 때에는 양력을 최대한 이용할 수 있도록 하여 터빈의 효율을 높이게 되어, 발전 성능이 더욱 향상되는 효과가 있다. 그리고, 수평축 및 블레이드의 길이를 길게 하면 대형화가 가능하므로, 대형화가 용이한 효과가 있다. A power generation turbine device is disclosed. In the power generation turbine apparatus according to the present invention, the rotating direction of the blades and the rotating direction of the central axis connected to the power generation unit side are perpendicular to each other, and the rotating idle blade Position, the distance from the central axis to the end of each blade is constant. That is, the distance from the central axis to the end of each blade is constant according to the rotation and revolution phases of the blade, so that the change in moment due to rotation and revolution of the blade is significantly reduced. Therefore, since the generation of vibration is reduced, the power generation performance is improved and the life is prolonged. Since the rotational direction of the blade is perpendicular to the rotational direction of the central axis of the power generation unit, the magnetic force of the blade can be transmitted to the central axis through a simple motion transmission path. In addition, when the blade moves in the same direction as the fluid flow direction, the drag force is used to the maximum, and when the blade moves in the opposite direction to the fluid flow direction or in the perpendicular direction, the lift force can be utilized to the utmost, The power generation performance is further improved. Further, if the length of the ...
