APPARATUS WITH AN INCLINED CARRYING PILLAR FOR ANCHORING AN AXIAL TURBINE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM WATER CURRENTS

摘要

The present invention concerns an apparatus for anchoring an axial turbine (2) to a seabed. The axial turbine is supported in a housing (3) and is adapted for rotational movement about a first axis. The apparatus includes a carrying pillar (1), with two ends and pillar (1) defines a second axis along its lengths. The housing (3) is adapted to rigidly secured to the other end of the carrying pillar (1), and the carrying pillar (1) is adapted to be rigidly secured to the seabed. The first axis and the second axis creates an inclined angle a therein between. The carrying pillar can be connected to a support element (6) with a central axis in the longitudinal direction of the support tube (6) such that the central axis of the carrying pillar, the axis of the axial turbine (2) and the axis of the carrying pillar (1) substantially lies in the same plane.
