Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit torque smoothly, by splitting the rotary force of windmill blades into two components having different directions through a bevel gear in the rotary shaft of the windmill blades and two bevel gears gearing therewith then transmitting the rotary force to a differential shaft and an output shaft. CONSTITUTION:The rotary force of windmill blades 15 is transmitted through a bevel gear 17 and two bevel gears 19, 20 to two differential shafts 21, 22. Said differential shafts 21, 22 are arranged concentrically and the lower ends thereof are coupled in a tower 11 with a planetary gear speed increasing mechanism 25. Since the rotary force is transmitted while being split into two components having different directions thereafter transmitted to a single output shaft 27, the torque can be transmitted smoothly.
