Abstract

It is mentioned a device with a wind power machine for utilization of the energy in flowing fluid as air and water by that the device comprises transversal moving vanes which may yield a higher efficiency than e.g.
traditional wind mills. Furthermore there is mentioned a regulation system for the pitch and a supporting system for the vanes which will make a wind power machine like this more efficient than those we find in literature. In the same way it is mentioned a construction which may be built on a tower and thus came to higher level which may increase the efficiency considerably as the air speed increases with about the power of four.

Description

~ r'6~8 '~''~ _ ~~$P'1 F~tAP~e t:.~$9C~ -_ _ s.= r°~-~ ~-'~' ~_ ~ PCT/N000/00332 This invention concern a device for utilization the energy in flowing fluida as air or water and which will utilise the energy by that the device in the following mostly called wind power machine includes vanes or blades ( 1 ) fixed on shaft ( 17) which on each end are journalled in a bearing (9) in a base (8) on an endless band (7) which runs on the wheels (6).
The wheels (6) are rigidly secured on the shaft (12) and in this way the vanes obtain a transversal (sideways, parallel) motion. The shaft (12) ensures a synchronous running of the band (7). A steering lever (2) which runs in a track on a guide rail (3) turns the vanes in such a way that they obtain an angle (attack angle or pitch) to the direction of the wind and when the flow of the fluida is pressing on the vanes they will be moved sideways (parallel), figure 2, and the energy will through the output (13) be transferred to useful energy, i.e. electric energy. In order to obtain optimum utilization of the wind the vanes have to be adjusted to the best attack angle (pitch) , S, and this is regulated by the steering arm and the guide rail.
Figure 1 shows a simplified sketch of the system.
The machine is built up with the vanes ( 1 ) as the main element. The vanes ( 1 ) are fixed on a shaft (17) which are journalled in a bearing (9) in a base (8) on an endless band or belt (7), which can be a roller chain, a tooth belt or something similar, from now on called the carrying belt. On a model earned out it was used a tooth belt made from polyester whereon the bases for bearings, (8), was fastened with epoxy glue. In a eventual production it is recommended to use bases for the bearings which are moulded directly into the belt, figure 6. By use of roller chains the bearings can easily be built directly into the links of the chain.
The main purpose of the carrying belt is to transfer the energy from the vanes through the wheels (6) to the power output, (13), and to keep a correct distance between the vanes. The carrying belt is running over the wheels, (6) which are firmly mounted in couples through a shaft, (12) As the carrying belts are exactly of the same length and the wheels are firmly connected to each other through the shaft, (12) the vanes will always run synchronous and correct.
If e.g. the vanes at "wind side" are going upwards, they obviously will run the opposite way (downwards) on the "back side" (The machine can work in every position of the axis:
horizontally, vertically or other orientation) the pitch will be oriented so that the angle on 3o back side has opposite values of the first side, figure 2. In addition, the flow, W, of the fluida which has passed the vanes at the ''wind side" may change the direction and in that way AMENDED SHEET

obtain an optimum angle of attack against the vanes at the "back side", figure 2. On the vane shafts there are mounted small supporting wheel, ( 10) which runs against supporting rails, (4 and 5), figure 4. The pressure of the fluida against the vanes will make a force, P, against the supporting wheel which force is taken up by the supporting rails (5) , figure 5. There are also supporting rails (5) at the back on the vanes at both sides in order to take up the force from the wind. In addition there are supporting rails (4) on the "wind side", but of a lighter construction in order to give the belt and the vanes a more steady running.
The supporting rails can surround the wheels, (6), or they can only cover the straight part of the track and in this way be quite straight. The supporting wheels or the supporting rails or both can be to covered with a noise absorbing material to reduce the noise between the wheels and the rails.
This construction with supporting wheels and supporting rails make the vanes able to receive great forces and may thereby be able to transfer great effects.
This construction involves that it is the supporting wheels and supporting rails which receives the force, P, from the vanes and in this way they really are supported here. The carrying belt (7) has as purpose to transfer effect from the vanes through the wheels, (6), to the power output, (13), and to keep correct distance between the vanes.
The control of pitch of the vane, S, figure3, is executed by a leading arm, (2) which is following a track in a guide rail, (3), and by moving the guide rail sideways E, figure 3 in relation to the path of the vanes the pitch S may be changed, figure 3.
Because that the vanes 2o shaft ( 17) are placed at the centre line for the vanes the force will give small moments and small forces on the leading arms.
In this construction the guide rail path is of the same form as the vanes path, C, figure 3 and is eccentric, E, in relation to this as shown in figure 3, where A is the centre line for the vanes path and B is the centre line for the guide rail path. By sliding the guide rail sideways e.g. change the eccentricity, E, figure 3, in relation to the vane path the pitch for the vanes will be steeples changed. A servomotor, (15) in connection with an element e.g. a system of bars, (16) may by means of the slide, (14) move the guide rail sideways and thus adjust the pitch for the vanes. The total system may be controlled by anemometers placed in proper 3o distance on the ground around the wind power machine to obtain optimum output according to the wind conditions.

and the "back side"
in order to give optimum effect. By making the arcs in the guide rails a little elastic, the distance, D, between the parallel parts of the rails can be varied, figure 3, and thus the leading arm, (2) will give a difference in pitch on the "wind side" and the "back side".
The wind power machine may be mounted at the top of a tower, (18), figure 7 which partly may be turned 360 degrees around the vertical axis by a servomotor, (24) which can be controlled by a proper number of anemometers, (25) placed on the ground around the tower.
t o A central computer may collect the information's from the anemometers and estimate the best pitch and direction according to the wind strength and direction.
The wind power machine may be mounted at a tower by setting couples of inverted elements against each other, figure 6, and thereby place them so that the control system in each part is directed against the centre of the tower and thereby may be protected against the weather by ~ 5 a sharp wind shield, (26) which at the same time leads the wind against the vanes. In this way it is obtained that this wind energy not is lost and at the same time this shield will protect the steering mechanism against the weather and wind. In the same way it can be built wind collectors, (21 ) around outer border of the wind power machine to increase the effective wind area, figure 6. The output, (13) may be connected to the shafts for the wheels, 20 (6) in the middle area of the system.

A device with a wind power machine for utilization energy in flowing fluida as water or air characterised by that the device includes vanes or blades, (1), which are fixed on shaft (17) which on each end are journalled in bearing (9) on a base (8) on an endless band, (7), which runs on the wheels, (6),which are rigidly secured on the shaft (12) and in this way obtain a transversal (sideways, parallel) motion and the shaft (12) ensures a synchronous running of the bands (7) and the steering lever (2) which runs in a track on the guide rail (3) turns the vanes round their length axis in such a way that they obtain an angle (attack angle or pitch) to the direction of the movement and the wind and when a fluid flows against the vanes they get a driving component causing the vanes to move sideways (parallel) and as the vanes at the backside have opposite pitch and opposite moving direction will the flow of fluida which has got a direction against these also give a contribution to the drive and when the vanes have supporting wheels, (10) which run on supporting rails, (5), may the vanes be able to receive great forces and thereby give great output which can contribute to make the construction rather slender and thus suitable for mounting on e.g. a tower by setting couples of inverted elements against each other with the control mechanism oriented against the vertical centre line of the tower and which then may be built inside the wind collector, (26), and it is recommended to build wind collectors around the wind power machine to enlarge the wind area as it also is relatively simple to do that.
2. A device according to the claim 1 characterised by that the wind power machine includes a regulation device for regulation of the vane pitch by a steering lever, (2), which follow a track in a guide rail , (3), and which may be of the same shape as the path for the vanes but eccentric in relation to this and which may be moved sideways by the slide (14) to change the eccentricity, (E), and thus turn the steering lever which then turns the vanes and thus in turn adjust the vanes to a optimum pitch according to the wind conditions.
3. A device according to the claim 1 and 2 characterised by that the wind power machine includes a servomotor, (15), and a element, (16), which moves the guide rail sideways by means of an element, (14) in order to regulate the pitch..
