Abstract

258,955. Sankey, A. R. M. July 3, 1925. Current motors. - A device for rotating a body, such as the casing of the rotary current motors described in Specifications 210,937 and 229,470, in accordance with changes in the direction of the wind or fluid current, comprises a vertically pivoted vane mounted on the body, a small movement of which vane causes one of a pair of normally symmetrically disposed members to offer a greater resistance to the current and thereby cause the body to turn. Fig. 3 shows a central vane member H of Y-shape, the arms being formed as wind vanes and the leg being a framework, which on a change in direction of the wind deflects one of the resistance vanes J or K through a linkage M<1>, M<4>, M<5>, M, M<2>, M<3> which abuts against the vanes J, K, the other resistance vane being free to remain in the head to wind position by reason of a slightly greater wind surface on one side of its pivot. The deflected vane offers more resistance to the wind so that the whole body A moves into the head to wind position. On a large change in direction of the wind the central vane acts to interpose a stop N<2> or N<3> in the path of the free vane which then offers more resistance thereby turning the casing. Two small vanes L, L<1> may assist the central vane H. The pivoted resistance vanes may be . replaced by vaned rotors P, R, Fig. 4 which may rotate a.bout vertical or horizontal axes with the central vane member 0 acting to apply a brake to one or other rotor to increase its resistance. In this case the central vane consists of a skeleton frame O with Y-shaped vanes O<2>, O<3> at the ends and is mounted on a spindle O<1> disposed nearer one end. A curved screen O<4> adjacent the vanes O<2> causes the vane member 0 to move in opposite directions for small and large angular changes of wind in the vanes S, S<1> are provided to assist in turning the body A when a large change of direction of the wind occurs. The central vane member is preferably fitted with balancing weights.
