| 发明名称 | Wind power generation system for lighter than air (LTA) platforms | ||
| 摘要 | An apparatus includes a lighter than air platform, a reversible propulsive/wind turbine, a deployable anchor to constrain movement of the lighter than air platform with respect to an anchor point allowing wind to drive the turbine, and a generator/motor coupled to the turbine to produce electrical power when movement of the lighter than air platform is constrained. A method performed by the apparatus is also provided. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An apparatus comprising: a lighter than air platform; a turbine; a deployable flyable anchor including a restraining device to constrain movement of the lighter than air platform with respect to an anchor point allowing wind to drive the turbine; and a generator/motor coupled to the turbine to produce electrical power when movement of the lighter than air platform is constrained and to propel the lighter than air platform when the lighter than air platform is not constrained. | ||
