MAGNUS TYPE WIND POWER GENERATOR

摘要

A Magnus type wind power generator (A) comprising a horizontal rotary shaft (3) for transmitting torque to a power generating mechanism (2), rotary columns (5) disposed radially of the horizontal rotary shaft (3), driving motors (15) for rotatively driving the respective rotary columns (5) around the axes thereof, in which the relative action between rotation of each rotary column (5) and wind produces Magnus lift, which rotates the horizontal rotary shaft (3) so as to drive the power generating mechanism (2), wherein an air flow means (6) is installed for producing air flows on the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotary columns (5) so as to increase the Magnus lift.
