Vertical Axis Wind Turbine with Configurable Airfoils |
| 摘要 |
A vertical axis wind turbine includes: a central axis that extends in a substantially vertical direction; a plurality of configurable airfoils disposed about the central axis, the plurality of configurable airfoils physically coupled to rotate together about the central axis; an angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an angle formed between a configurable airfoil and a radius that extends from the central axis as the configurable airfoil rotates about the central axis; and a profile adjustment mechanism that is configured to adjust a profile of the configurable airfoil as the configurable airfoil rotates about the central axis. |

1. A vertical axis wind turbine comprising:
a central axis that extends in a substantially vertical direction; a plurality of configurable airfoils disposed about the central axis, the plurality of configurable airfoils physically coupled to rotate together about the central axis; an angle adjustment mechanism that is configured to adjust an angle formed between a configurable airfoil and a radius that extends from the central axis to the configurable airfoil as the configurable airfoil rotates about the central axis; and a profile adjustment mechanism that is configured to adjust a profile of the configurable airfoil as the configurable airfoil rotates about the central axis. |
