Abstract

The wind energy propulsive force controller is provided with an oscillating sailing mast for a wind power controller. A thrust indicator is provided for controlling the Aeolian force which acts on the sail and transmitted to the mast. The wind power controller is connected to a manometer for taking readings directly.

Description

Der nur auf der Basis pendelnde Grossegelmast besteht in der Montage eines Segelmasten der unten ein paar Millimeter Bewegungsmögllchkelt hat (diese ausschließlich In Navigationsrichtung, bzw. Bug- Heck) um dadurch den von der Segel eingefangenen Winddruck, Energie, auf einen Signalanzelger zu übertragen ( Manometer, LED, etc.). Betreff Segelboote über 30 Fuß Gesamtlänge, kann man beobachten, dass es nicht einfach ist,die beste Ausnützung der Windenergie in Navigationsrichtung festzustellen, welche, erst einmal von der Segel aufgenommen,dlese,auf den Mast nur tellwelse in Fahrtrichtung uebertraegt, denn, sei es wegen dem Seegang od. Stroemung od. Windrichtung, ist alles in staendigem Wandel.The floating only on the basis of large sailmast consists in the installation of a sail mast below the bottom of a few millimeters Bewegungsmögllchelt (this exclusively in navigation direction, or bow-tail) to thereby transmit the captured by the sail wind pressure, energy to a signal exciter (manometer , LED, etc.). As to sailboats over 30 feet in length, it can be observed that it is not easy to ascertain the best utilization of wind energy in the direction of navigation, which, once picked up by the sail, passes on to the mast only tell-welse in the direction of travel, because, be it because of the swell od. Stroemung od. Wind direction, everything is in constant change.

Betreffend einem Boot der mit einem normalen Mast bestückt ist und der mit Stahlkabeln von dessen Spitze aus, an Bug und Heck befestigt ist, ist dieses Zubehör uninteressant, denn für die gewöhnliche Kreuzfahrt genügt die praktische Erfahrung des Skippers od. Steuermanns. Wenn es aber um Regatten geht, erlaubt dieser eine genauere Kontrolle der aufgenommenen Windenergie. Die Spitze des Mastes, blockiert an Bug und Heck durch die Stahlkabel, bleibt In der Basis pendelnd für ein paar Millimeter u. zwar ausschließlich in Fahrtrichtung. Dort wird ein Messgerät angebracht, der den von der Segel aufgenommenen Winddruck auf einem Anzeiger in Kg, od.utm. überträgt und dadurch sichtbar macht. Das pendeln des Masten wird durch einen metallischen, rohrartlgen Kasten ermöglicht, ungefähr 70 cm. hoch, je nach Bootslänge oder Masthöhe, und in dessen Inneren sind, links und rechts ,2 Pleuelstangen aufgehängt montiert, sind ca. 50 cm. lang und an dessen unterem Ende wird der Mast beweglich angebracht. Der Box wird auf einer kleinen Plattform geschweißt u, das Ganze wird Im Inneren oder auf der Decke des Bootes befestigt. Das Gesamtgewicht der Segel wird die Ablesung der Anzeiger beeinflussen und daher wird die Formalisierung einer entsprechenden Tabelle notwendig sein. Das ganze Gerät wird aus Edelstahl inox Aisi 316 hergestellt und unter Schutzatmosphere durch Argon verschweißt. Ein Dämpfer mit doppelter Tätigkeit wird die Schwingungen des Baumes verhindern. Da die Basis des Baumes auch auf seitlichen Druck durch den Wind ausgestellt ist, wird diese durch 2 seitliche Ringe begrenzt. Die seitlichen Stahlkabeln, die links und rechts von der Spitze des Baumes aus herunterkommen und diesen festhalten, muessen, in der Senkrechten, parallel zum Baum laufen; weder gegen Bug noch Heck, sonst kann Dieser nicht pendeln.Concerning a boat which is equipped with a normal mast and which is attached to the bow and stern with steel cables from its tip, this accessory is uninteresting, because for the ordinary cruise the practical experience of the skipper or helmsman is sufficient. But when it comes to regattas, this allows a more precise control of the recorded wind energy. The top of the mast, blocked at the bow and stern by the steel cables, remains oscillating in the base for a few millimeters u. Although only in the direction of travel. There, a measuring device is attached, the recorded by the sail wind pressure on an indicator in Kg, od.utm. transmits and thereby makes visible. The commuting of the mast is made possible by a metallic, tubular box, about 70 cm. high, depending on boat length or mast height, and in the interior are mounted, left and right, 2 connecting rods suspended, are about 50 cm. long and at the lower end of the mast is mounted movable. The box is welded on a small platform u, the whole thing is fixed inside or on the ceiling of the boat. The total weight of the sails will affect the reading of the scoreboards and therefore the formalization of a corresponding table will be necessary. The whole device is made of stainless steel inox Aisi 316 and welded under protective atmosphere by argon. A damper with double action will prevent the vibrations of the tree. Since the base of the tree is also exposed to lateral pressure from the wind, it is bounded by 2 lateral rings. The lateral steel cables, coming down from the top of the tree to the left and right and holding it, must, in the vertical, run parallel to the tree; neither against bow nor stern, otherwise this can not commute.
