Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rotatable fluid current machines and, more especially, to those adapted to be driven by a liquid.
  • One of the objects of the invention is to render the operation of machines of the above type more sure and regular irrespective of the direction and the velocity of the current by which the are driven.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective of one illustrative embodiment of the invention
  • Figs. 2 to 5 are diagrams showing the relative positions of the various elements at different phases of the machines operation.
  • an assembly consisting of a vertical rotatable shaft a supported at both ends in appropriate bearings, a rectangular frame I) supported by collars c c and including a pair of rotatable side members 6 and b ,a pair of vanes al and 6Z2 adapted to rotate with b and 6 respectively,--pairs of transverse rods 6 e and 6 e traversing elements 6 and respectively,-flexible cables 7, f and F, f passing over pulleys supported on collar 0 and terminating in springs h, 71. 71. [L connected to a collar 71 attached to shaft a, and a speed regulating device to be described further on.
  • a series of frames may be positioned along shaft a with their planes displaced by an appropriate angle, i. e. 90 for two frames, for three frames etc. so as to increase the force and uniformity of the rotative couple.
  • the hereinabove described assembly may, if desired, be fitted with a speed regulating device comprising weights j, mounted on arms j j which articulate with a fixed collar is driven by shaft a, and controlling arms f supporting collar 11.
  • a speed regulating device comprising weights j, mounted on arms j j which articulate with a fixed collar is driven by shaft a, and controlling arms f supporting collar 11.
  • a rotatable shaft a frame mounted on said shaft, a plurality of vanes pivotally mounted in said frame, a collar slidable on said shaft, a control rod associated with each of said vanes and extendingon opposite sides thereof, flexible cables connected to said control rods on either side of each of said vanes, springs connected to "said cables and to said collar, and means controlled by the speed of rotation of said shaft to move said collar along the shaft to vary the tension of said springs.
