Description

Titolo Title

Ventola galleggiante atta a produrre energia elettrica Floating fan designed to produce electricity

Riassunto . Summary .

E costituita da vele rigide fissate ad una torre gi revole ,collegata ad un generatore e issata a notevole altezza su pali a traliccio. It consists of rigid sails fixed to a revolving tower, connected to a generator and hoisted at a considerable height on lattice poles.

Il tutto appoggia su galleggianti ,ancorati al fondo marino. The whole rests on floats, anchored to the seabed.

Descrizione . Description .

La sempre maggior richiesta di energia elettrica da fonti rinnovabili ,mi ha indotto a progettare una ventola galleggiante elevata ad<‘>altezza considere vole costituita da vele rigide e curve. The increasing demand for electricity from renewable sources led me to design a high floating fan with a considerable height made up of rigid and curved sails.

La scelta di vele rigide e verticali mi é stata suggerita dalle grandi performace dei moderni catamarani ,che riescono a catturare ingenti energie dal vento . The choice of rigid and vertical sails was suggested to me by the great performances of modern catamarans, which manage to capture huge energy from the wind.

Le vele sono agganciate ad una torre girevole The sails are attached to a revolving tower

e sono sorrette da supporti rompitratta ,per evitare lacerazioni visto gli ingenti sforzi a cui sono sottoposte . and are supported by support supports, to avoid lacerations given the enormous efforts to which they are subjected.

Meta delle pale sono circondate da un carter mobile che comandato da un timone lo posiziona in modo da proteggerle dall'effetto del vento negativo. Half of the blades are surrounded by a mobile carter which, controlled by a rudder, positions it in such a way as to protect them from the negative wind effect.

Le vele sono di materiale composito e hanno nervature veticali che oltre ad inrobustirle catturano meglio il vento . The sails are made of composite material and have vetical ribs which, in addition to strengthening them, better capture the wind.

La torre centrale ruota su un sistema di cuscinetti assiali/radiali che garantiscono la rotazione The central tower rotates on a system of axial / radial bearings that guarantee rotation

e ne impediscono il ribaltamento. and prevent it from overturning.

Le caratteristiche dell'impianto di cui si chiede il brevetto sono: The characteristics of the plant for which the patent is requested are:

-Riperimento di grandi quantita di energia rinnovabil e quasi costanti. -Reproduction of large quantities of renewable and almost constant energy.

-Impatto ambientale accettabile ,in Quanto la struttur può essere istallato lontano dalle spiagge ,pertanto pOCO visibile. - Acceptable environmental impact, as the structure can be installed far from the beaches, therefore not very visible.

-Facilita di realizzazione e manutenzione. -Ease of construction and maintenance.

-Il vento urta le pale, tranne quelle protette -The wind hits the blades, except the protected ones

dal carter . from the crankcase.

-Questo é girevole ;monato in sommità su cuscinetti e nella parte inferiore su rulli che scorrono -This is rotatable; mounted at the top on bearings and at the bottom on sliding rollers

su un binario circolare. on a circular track.

-La ventola é munita di un timone nella posizione che protegge le pale dall'azione negativa del vento . -The fan is equipped with a rudder in the position which protects the blades from the negative action of the wind.

Per meglio mostrare queste ed altre particolari caratteristiche della ventola secondo la presente invenzione ,viene ora descritto un esempio di realizza zione con riferimento all'unito disegno schematico in cui : To better show these and other particular characteristics of the fan according to the present invention, an embodiment example is now described with reference to the attached schematic drawing in which:

Si vede l'ipianto visto in sezione di fronte, e in pianta . You can see the plant seen in section from the front, and in plan.

Echiaro che oltre all'esempio di realizzazione sopra descritto numerose varianti sono possibili sempre reatando nell'ambito de 11 'invenzione 1 a It is clear that in addition to the example of embodiment described above, numerous variants are always possible by reacting within the scope of the invention 1 a

cui idea inventiva é Quella di una ventola a pale verticali . whose inventive idea is that of a fan with vertical blades.

Claims

Claims Fan Der the production of electric current consisting of a tower to which vertical wires are fixed. 2 °) Claim as in the previous number characterized by the fact that the fan is hoisted on uprights of such length as to interfere with constant and strong winds, 3 °) Claim as in the preceding numbers characterized by the fact that the uprights are fixed on floats. 4 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the floats are oversized and suitably spaced to withstand the high altitude winds and storm surges which tend to overturn the whole building. 5 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the floats are anchored to the seabed with ballasts. 6 °) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the fan is constrained on a system of radial and axial bearings to withstand high stresses. 7 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers by the fact that the bearing system is constrained to the uprights by means of a cross. 8 <0>) Claim as in the preceding numbers characterized by the fact that the bearing assembly is supported by the spider by means of wire ropes. 9 °) Claim as to the previous numbers characterized by the fact that half of the sails are surrounded by a carter which subtracts them from the negative force of the winds. 10 °) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the crankcase in the upper terminal part is joined by means of supports to an axial bearing constrained to the tower. 11 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the casing, in the lower end part, is equipped with rollers which slide on a circular track. 12 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the track is fixed to the cross. 13 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that the carter is equipped with a rudder which automatically positions it in such a way as to protect half of the sails from the "negative" wind. 14 <0>) Claim as in the previous numbers characterized by the fact that a generator is installed at the foot of the rotating tower which exploits its movement
