Abstract

A formation of e.g. six tumbling floats carries the tower of a conventional horizontal-axis wind turbine plant. Each float (1) has a U-section ring (7) around the edge of a circular track (5) with resilient internal teeth (8) whose revolution drives the electric generator (6) mounted on a satellite float (2) with wheels (4) running on the track. A connecting column (9) in the centre of the main float is jointed on all sides and carries a lashing arm (10) with a shackle hole to prevent carousel rotation.

Description

From the attached FIGS. 1 to 13 (drawing sheets 1 to 5) it can be seen that each wobble float can do its own wobble work, although in addition to several wobble floats held in group formations for community work.

There is also one in this group formation Total buoyancy included, which over the Weight of the organizing cohesion frame still can also carry superstructures. First the Collective electric generator of all single generators the tumbling float is fed.

Mounted wind power users are also worn.

With total swimming capacity, in groups held float is the replacement of individual Tumbling floats possible without the overall work this type of natural power plant is interrupted.

There are quick catches for these individual changes (Couplings) provided that are constructive with the All-round wobble joints are to be brought into cooperation.  

The ball-claw symbol, above all wobble body, simplifies the presentation.

The combined natural power system in the Drawing sheet 1 is the basis for the diverse commercial use.

Fig. 3 shows a formation of round floating bodies, which are coupled at a sufficient distance from each other under a holding frame Fig. 2 by means of universal joints.

A wind power user Fig. 1 is constructed from this frame Fig. 2.

Construction series: Starting from the substructure Fig. 1, then the formation frame Fig. 2 and then a wind power user Fig. 3.

So is a combined collaborative Electrical power plant was created.

Since the above-mentioned wind power user is buzzing too, this can Liven up stimulating and supportive for the Tumbling floats can be useful.  

Sheet 2 shows two types of formation racks, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. Both racks are intended for carrying wind power users.

Drawing sheet 3 shows, under the two differently constructed holding structures Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the individually intense tumbling in connection with grouped floating bodies.

Drawing sheet 4 shows in detail a wobble float Fig. 8 (side view) and Fig. 9 (top view) built in a ring shape. Ring shape, because the middle part is an opening for the water wave penetration and return, with which the tumbling of the floating bodies is activated.

In addition, the ring shape design has other advantages. This kind can be built faster and more economically. She also has a lot of inherent stability. Can be more easily in segments to build; assemble easily with these, too transport.

Wall and floor protrusions (overhangs - in sheet metal construction) are used, for example:
The outer wall overhang at the upper edge of the float forms the U-profile web for the U-profile ring - the rim-U-profile ring ( 7 ).

This U-profile ring was created using the flat ring by placing it on the outer wall web (overhang); for which is the drive wheel train ( 5 ).

The resulting rim of the U-profile ring ( 7 ) accommodates the Elaste inner ring gear (Elaste inner ring gear ( 8 )). This Elaste internal gear rim (in car tire quality) consists of sections in the manner of tubbings, such as in tunnel tube construction.

This type of internal ring gear is in the ring U-profile pressed in - it is quiet and is caused by the wave water lubricated -.

The gear from the electric generator ( 6 ) engages in this internal ring gear. This electric generator ( 6 ) is carried by the satellite float ( 2 ) and guided back and forth with its gear meshing in the inner ring gear.

The satellite float ( 2 ) forms with the drive, the electric generator and its own weight the total unbalance weight (unbalanced mass) from which the power size of the generator ( 6 ) is determined.

The total unbalance weight is borne by the floating load-bearing capacity of the satellite float - in accordance with the swimming plane of the tumbling float ( 1 ). The swimming level of the T-float ( 1 ) is determined from the complete rest position in the still water. The floating level of the satellite float must also almost coincide with this floating level, and the revolving levels of the running wheel tracks ( 5 ) on the rim and in the opening bottom (inner overhang) must also match the floating levels, because from a wobble physics point of view there would be a la mountain and valley railway effects, which would disrupt the work processes that are the same on all sides. This applies to unbalanced working as well as pendulum working weights. The same also applies to an unbalance working weight, which is guided axially around the connecting column ( 9 ) and centered around the wobble float ( 1 ) by means of sliding or roller bearings.

The connecting column ( 9 ) also has the lashing arm ( 10 ) with a shackle hole under the all-round joint for easy yet secure lashing - in the seaman style - against carousel rotation of the tumbling float. Drawing sheet 5 shows with Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 also a ring-shaped wobble float ( 10 ) with a heavy work pendulum ( 11 ) with its transmission devices and their four support stands ( 16 ) which are attached to the outside of the ring float are. On the upper part of this stand ( 16 ) are the bearings of the two cross-leg bars ( 12 ) held crosswise. Two pendulum thigh bars arranged crosswise? Because two work processes can then be achieved synchronously via the two pull strands ( 14 ) from one work path of the work pendulum. The legs of the pendulum rods ( 12 ) carry the tension cord guide rollers ( 13 ) - at the end of the pendulum leg and at the connecting knee with the pendulum rod ( 12 ). The drive chain part of the pull strands ( 14 ) runs back and forth from these composite knee guide rollers over the drive gearwheels of the electric generators ( 15 ) mounted on the pendulum rods ( 12 ).

The two pull cords ( 14 ) are attached with their beginning and end to the lower mounting points of the work pendulum ( 11 ).

The lengths of the tension cords closed in this way behave uninhibited if they have sufficient distance from the pendulum legs with their guide roller seats ( 13 ) to their attachment points on the work pendulum, so that the leg lengths are also coordinated.

Fig. 11 shows the head support (17) with the lashing eye (17 Z).

(17 Z) is the cheapest and safest way to carousel rotation, the swash float to prevent (a la boat tie). Looking back at Fig. 10 it can be clearly seen that the work pendulum tension system can work on what is moving even without a substructure (like a wobble float).
