Description

Description

This invention will enable the horizontal rotation by using the wind. This rotation is functional independently from the direction of the wind from north, east, south or west.

Fig AA1, Al.The basement can have different height and is independent from the arms length. Inside on the top side of the basement should be installed the generator for electrical energy producing.

A2.The Axle connects the generator with the case of the arms and the dimensions are dependent from the length of the arms.

A3. The arms should be made from adaptable tubes that make stability in long and short lengths.

A4. Is the dynamic part FigAA9 (window) in this case it is closed and the wind is rotating in the arrow direction a. On the FigureAAlO and AAII it looks in two views.

AS. Here can be seen motional part Fig.AA9 opened window, the wind under pressure has open and makes possibility to be rotated. After the part AA9 will be open this create the possibility that the air resistance in this arm to be lower so the rotation will start. On the figure AA48 point 4, fig AA49 point 3 and 4, fig AA5O point 2 and fig AA51 point 1 and 2...s.

is the longitudinal view of the arms, the arms can have different lengths.

Fig AA2. The above view of Fig AAI give us this view, in this figure we can see that this model and all other models are covered with tin-plate above and below of the arm A2.i enable better function. For better discussion we will take off tin-plate from all models.

Fig.AA3 we can see from above Fig AA1 that motional parts A4 are closed meantime A5 to the left of the arm is open. This model is with horizontal opening and is named horizontal model. On the longitudinal view of the right arm we will discuss creation of the motional part AA9 and the creation of the arm.

Fig AA4 We can see the creation of the arm and the sticks A4.1 sticks A4.2 bearing.

Fig AA5 the above view will be seen like this on the figure AA4. AA5.1 are the above horizontal bearings.

Fig AA6. Vertically view of figure AA4. We can see on the bearings A6.1 on the top side of bearings we have write with numbers places when the bearings will be installed 1.2,3.4,5.6 in every bearing we will put two bearings. Si Cut view. For discussion we will take just half part it means just the part who are installed bearings 1.2 and 3.4. In A6.2 are the above and bellow stocks.

Fig AA7 we can see the installation of bearings Si cut view.

Fig AA8 To the left Fig AA7 we can see better the bearing. In this figure we can see that this arm has the form of four-cornered. Bearing can be slippy or rolling. A4.i, A5.I, A6.1, A8.l are the bearings that connects the stocks. S2 Cut Stocks. A8.2 this form will have the arm on the motion side (bearings and stocks) this will have lower resistance of the air.

Fig AA9 (Window) is the main part that move by air. This part gets in function to this model also to the vertical model. A9 we can see the axle on both sides of the motional part that is connected in bearings, this par can be seen also in fig.AAIO. The axle A9 should be installed on the above half part of the motional part. AlO in this part should be installed one anti-weight that has the goal in All to alleviate the weight and this will enable better function. The weight on the point AlO can alleviate the weight on All from zero to hundred percent. This will enable that the fleeting to move more easily. Also the function will be better. AA9X can be seen on the left side. Fig AA9Y can be seen on cut view this part also on the top side the anti-weight than A13 is reinforcement from inside for stability.

Fig AA1O we can see motional part AA9 on bearings A8 and is not interrupted from collateral bearing nor from the above and below stock Fig AAI I how can be seen on left side fig AAIO.

Fig AA12 (bracket) we can see this part in both sides. Fig AA12X, Al.! is a gum and in that will be supported motional part AA9. A12.2 is the body. A12.3 here will be connected the buffer A12.4. Here will be connected the fig AA9 and they are in function together.

Fig AA13 the buffer on the front will be connected and is in function. In other figures it can be seen in action.

Fig A14 The bearing can be seen in two sides A14.1 amplifier place a 14.2 other view. It can be slippy or rolling.

Fig AA15 we can see the installation of buffer, amplificatory and bearing. On the point A15 the buffer should be connected with vertical bearing. On the point 15.1 should be connected the buffer with amplificatory, on the point 15.2 the amplifier should be connected with bearing.

Fig AA16 we have put the motional part AA9 that buffer keep it closed in action. The buffer make soft shuts. Here is in action.

Fig AA17 if the speed of the air is growing, to keep the rotation in stability (constant) and to prevent damages the window wilt be open by the air compression and the excessive air move on the arrow direction. A17 this enable to have constant rotation.

Fig AAI8 on the rotation motion the arm goes in next side and the air open the window AA9.

The buffer in this case do not work because is in the middle of the bearings and the air goes throw the gaps A18. This part in action can be seen also in the figure AA48 to the number 4 than in fig AA49 to the number 3 and 4 also we can see and to the other figures.

Fig AA19, Fig AA2O, Fig AA21 all other data we showed up to the fig AA1, AA2, AA3 but here we are discussing that this model is functional vertically who bearings should be installed on the stocks above and below the stock On the next figures the function can be seen nearly.

Fig AA22 will discuss one part of the arm of the figure AA19. A8 we have note the installation of bearing above and below the stock.

Fig AA23 we discuss only for an half part of the figure AA22 here we can see near the installation of bearing AS above and below the stock Fig AA24 we can see the bearing on the top view of the Fig AA23.

Fig AA25 we can see the installation of the motional part (window) on bearings ant in this model the buffer will enable the function here it should be installed on the stocks above and below.

Fig AA26 left view of the motional part, in this case it is in action. We can see it better on the figure AA52 point 2, Fig AA53 point 1 and 2.

Fig AA27 we can see the motional part (window) that is open on the Fig AA55 point 4 and 1 that is in action. On the Fig AA52 point 4, Fig AA53 point 3 and 4, Fig AA54 point 3 and AA55 point 2 and 3 we can see clearly the function.

Fig AA28 we can see from top view AA9 (window) in action it shouldn't interrupt other window near because all windows work independently from each other.

Stopping in this point should enable one spring that will make soft buffering.

Fig AA29 in this model the motion part (window) is in horizontal function. Here the window AA9 have dimensions that until it will be closed in action it touches the bearing A6.1 and the stock down A6.2. To this model is not needed to have the buffer. On that places that touch bearings and the stock should be putted one soft gum that makes buffering function when the window closed.

Fig AA3O Same as in previous figure and here is the same function just that here is the vertical function. Opening and closing is in vertical form. As we can see the rolling wheels A8 on the stock A6.2 above and below, here this window is touching two above stocks A6.2 and below also the vertical bearing A6.1. Also here is not needed to have the buffer.

Fig AA31 we have one new model, here we can see only one part of the arm that we are discussing about.

Fig AA32 on the left view of AA31 we can see this model that is functional by the air compression changes. This model do not have motional parts, the compression to the point A32 is higher than to the point A32.1 so on the direction of the arrow A32 moves this fleeting.

To the next model that is same we will have more details.

Fig AA33 to this model on the outside view A33 is covered with tin-plate it means that to the figure A32 he outside view is covered with tin-plate. To this model we made just one change to the point AA33.1 that we have grow up the air compression. On the Fig AA56 is showed up this model in action.

Fig AA34 seems the arm that above and below parts are grow stronger to have more stability of the arm.

Fig AA35 The arm can have this construction because the area A35 that have better air compression.

Fig AA36 this model is same as the previous model just in some changes in arm construction, it can be seen in point A36.

Fig AA37 it seems the stock A on the third view it seems with the letter B and here the dimensions changes a lot.

Fig AA38 It seems the stock C and on the third view it seems in D. Fig AA39 It seems the stock A and the bearing C that are connected with each other and makes the arm that makes on action the resistance of the arm to be lower on the move.

Through the area E get more air.

Fig AA4O on the third view we can see Fig AA39 on the third view B the stock, D bearings.

Here in motion the resistance on lower on the arm.

Fig AA41 I will show some models of the arms on the continuation Figures. Here we have one model with three arms.

Fig AA42 is the model with four arms.

Fig AA43 is the model with two floors. A43 first floor, A43.1 second floor. To this model the air gives maximal energy. It is possible to construct each floor by three arms. Here will be one hexagon that will have good stability on rotation. It is possible to construct with more arms if it's needed.

Fig AA44 It seems Fig AA43 on the second view from the distance when we can see one square rectangle.

Fig AA4S There is one conical model of the arms Fig AA46 can be in pyramidal form Fig AA47 to this model we have an amplification with bearings A3 the bearings are connected on the point A that have one distance from the arm. From the point A we connect one metallic rope A1, A2 and connect it on the point A4 of the arm. On the point A we can also connect it by the metallic stock. This will enable to the long arms to be safer and to have better stability.

S is transversal view of the arm when the generator will be connected.

Fig AA48 for discussion we will take the model Fig AA43, Fig AA44. From the top view we will see the function of horizontal model of the motional part (window).AH is the direction of rotation meantime in direction AC inflate the wind. On the point 1 the front compression of the back side of the wind moves to the collateral side, here is 0 compression of the air and the motional par (window) closed and when it will pass this point the window will take the same action on the point 3 when here start to open when it will pass the point of 0 compression. This condition is also for vertical models also for two other models that are on the Fig AA29 and Fig AA3O. The air compression on the point 2 is maximal. The window in this point is closed meantime on the point 4 window AA9 is open and enable that the air resistance to be lower, on the Fig AAI8 It is clearly seen that is opened, this enable the rotation in direction AH.

Fig AA49 The point 1 is moved and is in action, point 2 is also in action and is moving in direction of the point with zero compression, the point 3 is maximally opened same the point 4 is opened and is going on direction of the point with zero compression and will start slowly to be closed.

Fig AA5O point 1 has arrived on the point that compression is zero, from here it will start to be open, the point 2 is in function opened, point 3 has arrived on the point that compression is zero, point 4 is in function closed and is rotating the fleeting in direction AH.

Fig AA51 point I has pass the point with 0 compressions and is open, point 2 is open in motion when the air compression will be down until zero when it will be closed. On the point 3 and 4 have compression and these two points are closed in action. The wind makes rotation to this and to other models from all directions north, east, south and west.

On the four continual pictures we will discuss about vertical model and we can now more about functionality. Same to this model we will use the model of the arms Fig AA43 that is

more comfortable.

Fig AA52 on the point 1 the motional part (window) will start. The air compression is zero and this point is starting functionality of rotation. On the point 2 the motion part (window) is in action closed that in this point it gives the maximal energy. Normally all these models rotate in All direction and the air goes in AC direction. On the point 3 the air compression is zero and the window will start to be opened. The point 4 is open and is in action. On the Fig AA27 and AA28 is seems from behind and from top side.

Fig AAS3 point I has moved closed and is rotating the arm. Point 2 is closed too and is rotating the arm in direction AH. Point 3 the air has opened the window and now is out of function. Also the point 4 is out of function that the window is going to the point with zero compression. To the vertical model the window always followed the air. It can be seen on the point 3 and 4 the position of window in compare with the arm.

Fig AA54 point I is in maximal function. Point 2 has arrived to the point that compression is zero. Point 3 opened is in function and point 4 has arrived to the starting point.

Fig AA55 Point 1 is going to the point with low level of compression than will slowly start to be open. Point 2 has passed from point with zero compression and is in action to have minimal compression of the air in this arm. Point 3 has started to be closed because is near of the starting point and the air is going in this direction meantime point 4 has started on the starting point and is in action.

Fig AA56 It seems the third new fleeting that is showed in two views Fig AAS7. This view we will have if we look from top side Fig AA56. In this function we used the arms model from Fig AA33 this model rotate in arrow direction A56. Based on the construction will be and the rotation.
