TILTING BLADE SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL-AXIS WIND AND WATER TURBINES FOR MINIMAL DRAG, HIGH EFFICIENCY & MAXIMUM POWER OUTPUT

Certain vertical-axis wind and water turbine blades suffer from drag that reduces the turbine's torque and turbine-generated power.

Hydroenergetic Motor

Hydroenergetic motor is the energy converter intended to transform the hydropotential energy into the mechanical work in the form of the torque in such a way that the force of the pressure of the column of the liquid, acting on the ball (Kr) in the nozzle (S) achieves the movement of the chain (VK) with the balls (Kr) first, which is then transferred to the wheel (K) of the device. Due to the fact that the wheel (K) is not in direct contact with the fluid, and whereas, at the same time, the hydroenergetic motor according to the invention can also generate a torque with small and uneven flows, it can be used where the use of conventional hydroelectric converters is not appropriate due to the specific characteristics of the working liquids and specific hydrodynamic flow parameters, for example in sewage systems, in order to exploit the hydro-potential energy of the waste liquid of the sewage system. In those systems the use of a hydroenergetic motor according to the invention is preferred. The installation of the hydroenergetic motor with the purpose of exploiting hydropotential energy of the waste sewage fluid flowing through either one or more building objects may be done at any location in the sewer system in a way that the generator producing electricity is attached to the wheel (K). During operation, the hydroenergetic motor does not emit any byproducts into the environment and this actually makes the hydroenergetic motor the renewable source of energy.

Low head orthogonal turbine

FIELD: power industry. SUBSTANCE: invention can be implemented at tidal power plants, low head river hydro-power plants, wave power plants, and at wind-turbine electric plants with concentrators of wind power. The turbine consists of rotor 1 with blades 2 of wing-shaped profile installed across flow-through chamber 3. At least one cross lug 6 is made in chamber 3; upper facet 7 of lug with a gap adjoins surface of a cylinder swept off with blades 2. In section perpendicular to axis of rotor 1 the side facet of the cross lug facing supplying aperture 4 of flow-through chamber 3 is concave; while at least one tangent to this facet forms acute angle with a section of straight line connecting tangent point with axis of rotor 1; this acute angle is directed to supplying aperture 4 of flow-through chamber 3. EFFECT: increased efficiency of turbine due to reduction of reference power of idle jets in flow-through chamber of orthogonal turbine. 10 cl, 6 dwg РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ (19) RU (11) 2 391 554 (13) C1 (51) МПК F03B 3/00 (2006.01) F03D 3/00 (2006.01) ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТИ, ПАТЕНТАМ И ТОВАРНЫМ ЗНАКАМ (12) ОПИСАНИЕ ИЗОБРЕТЕНИЯ К ПАТЕНТУ (21), (22) Заявка: 2009103828/06, 05.02.2009 (24) Дата начала отсчета срока действия патента: 05.02.2009 (45) Опубликовано: 10.06.2010 Бюл. № 16 (73) Патентообладатель(и): Историк Борис Львович (RU), Шполянский Юлий Борисович (RU) 2 3 9 1 5 5 4 R U (57) Реферат: Изобретение относится к ветрои гидроэнергетике и может быть применено на приливных электростанциях, низконапорных речных гидроэлектростанциях, на волновых электростанциях, на ветроэлектростанциях с концентраторами ветровой энергии.
