WIND POWER DEVICE WITH DYNAMIC SAIL, STREAMLINED CABLE OR ENHANCED GROUND MECHANISM

摘要

An improved wind power device for wind energy conversion or vehicle propulsion. Among many possibilities contemplated, the device may have a moving sail with tethered wings (101), moving in elliptical trajectory, utilize separate sheave (503) and cable drum (505), use a block and tackle (411), attached to the tether and utilize a cable having a flexible jacket with aerodynamically streamlined cross section (603).

主权项

1. A device for conversion of wind energy into electric energy, comprising:
an airborne wing or sail, moving under power of wind; a cable, attached to said wing or sail; a ground level platform; a rotational element attached to said platform in contact with said cable; an electrical generator, having a rotor rotationally connected to said rotational element; means for holding excess of said cable.
