MPROVED WIND TURBINE

摘要

A wind turbine has a plurality of feathering blades and a governor for controlling the pitch angle of the blades according to the speed of rotation of the turbine. An elastic linkage connects between the governor and the blades. The linkage urges the blades toward the pitch position set by the governor. The linkage allows pitching of the blades toward a more feadiered position than a position set by the governor against the clastic return force. The linkage docs not allow substantial pitching of the blades to a less feathered position than the position set by the governor, lne centrifugal governor sets the minimum pitch angle of the blades, but the blades can react immediately to additional wind pressure by self feathering against the urging of the elastic linkage.
