Abstract

A transverse axis wind or water turbine comprising a rotor having two blades extending there from, the blades being cyclically adjusted during rotation about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor, the cyclic adjustment of each blade being effected by contact of a protrusion connected to each blade with a stationary component of the turbine. The stationary component of the turbine may be rotated by a fin or sensor so as to be correctly aligned with the direction of the fluid flow. The plane of rotation of the rotor may be horizontal or vertical.

Description

<p>-\---2433554 The Hazell Turbine</p>
<p>Description</p>
<p>1. The intention is that this turbine should be used in any flow of fluid to create a torque and that the torque is then used to generate electricity or to pump water or other liquids. It could therefore be used to generate electricity from the wind or indeed from tidal flow.</p>
<p>2. A rotor will have two blades and these blades will be set at right angles to one another. The central part of the rotor arm passes through a sleeve and so the complete rotor and blades can turn about the axis of the sleeve. This sleeve is set at right angle to the shaft of the generator or pump. Power is created by showing the flat side of one blade to the direction of the fluid and this blade moves with the fluid. At the same time the other blade shows its edge to the fluid and moves against the fluid. See Photo 1, 2 and 3. The rotors rotate in a plane that contains the direction of the fluid flow. If the Hazeil Turbine is used as a wind turbine, the plane containing the rotors could be parallel to the ground.</p>
<p>3. When one end of the rotor is pointing into the direction of the fluid, the rotor is feathered to turn through 90 degrees in order to again show the flat side of a blade to the direction of the fluid. This can be achieved by having a plate, set at right angles to the rotor blade, which passes over a shaped block. See Photo 4.</p>
<p>4. The block needs to be able to move so that the rotor turns through 90 degrees at the correct point relative to the direction of the fluid. This is achieved by connecting the block to a fin or a sensor. The sensor would sense the direction of the fluid flow and rotate the block so that the feathering mechanism operates when the rotor is pointing directly into the flow of the fluid.</p>

Claims (1)

  1. <p>The Ilazell Turbine Claims 1. This Turbine can be used as a wind
    turbine to generate electricity or provide mechanical energy. It can be used in the vertical plane or, unlike most other wind turbines, in the horizontal plane. A fin or a sensor can control the feathering mechanism.</p>
    <p>2. This Turbine can be used as a tidal turbine or in running water to generate electricity or to provide mechanical energy. It can be used in the vertical plane or in the horizontal plane. A fin or a sensor can control the feathering mechanism.</p>
    <p>3. This Turbine is described as having two blades that are connected to one another.</p>
    <p>With refinements to the feathering mechanism, it could be adapted to use four, six, or more blades operating in pairs.</p>
    <p>4. Although described as having a pair of blades, the Turbine could be adapted to use a number of single blades, each blade then separately being feathered to rotate through 90 degrees when pointing into the fluid flow.</p>
