For avoiding icing of windmill wings of composite materials, use is made of microwave energy for heating of the composite material itself, this energy preferably being supplied from interior, fixedly mounted microwave generators in response to detection of potential climatic conditions for icing to occur. The wing surface can be coated with a layer reflecting the microwaves, whereby these may propagate by reflections through and between the shell parts of which the wing will normally consist. It is possible to arrange for selective heating by the use of more generators, which may then, each, be of the type that is already in production with modest size and at low costs for use in ordinary microwave ovens. |
