The present invention named“Vertical axis mooring rotor”relates in general to the field of rotor designs aiming at utilizing the currents of oceans and seas and rivers to generate electricity. Its design combines this electricity generating function with the function of a mooring system. Ships ore other large floating bodies act like rotor blades with a specific freedom to change position in order to produce maximum resistance when encountering water flow in one direction, and either minimum resistance, when encountering water flow in the opposite direction. By this it will use leverage as a main characteristic for harnessing the power of relatively slow river and ocean currents by vertical axis rotors. At the same time it might also function as a conventional mooring point for ships or other large floating bodies in a waiting state. |
