PERFECCIONAMIENTOS INTRODUCIDOS EN UN GRUPO ELECTROGENO PA- RA BARCOS DE VELA.

摘要

A sailboat is provided with an electrical generator that is connected to its on-board battery. A propeller immersed in the water is connected via a flexible shaft to the input of this generator so that as the sailboat moves through the water the propeller is rotated to drive the generator and charge the battery. The arrangement may be taffrail mounted so that the propeller is towed or the flexible shaft may extend through a fitting in the hull via a water-tight sleeve.
