A mobile offshore wind turbine 300 includes a base having two side pieces 324 and a centre piece 322 on which a column 310 is disposed. Sail-like turbine blades 330 are each rotatably supported by a connecting rod 312 which extends radially from the column 310. The turbine blades 330 are vertically aligned with the column 310. A controller 334 may be disposed on the turbine blade 330 to detect the direction of the wind and control the moving direction of the mobile wind turbine 300. When the wind direction is parallel to the blades (figs. 4, 5) the turbine can move in the direction of the wind; when the wind direction is not parallel to the blades the blades are driven by the wind to generate electricity. The controllers 334 may transmit detection results to a control centre to generate an optimized route for the wind turbine, eg to a safer place to avoid damage by bad weather. |
