Description

Drive Fin Device D e s c r i p t i o n
Technical Field The invention relates to a fin and more particularly to the wind and wave drive fin
for moving a boat or a rotor of a generator and to leg-forced drive fin for swimming.
Beckgraund Art
In the prior art, sails of a saliboat which are during storm pushed by strong wind
increasing instability of the boat with a risk of overturning. There is need for an
inexpensive device which operates and steers the boat during storm without
increasing instability wherein the boat is not pushed through a mast and sails on it.
In the prior art, a wind drive turbine for the generator comprising a direction fin for
directing fin-blades toward wind rotating on a swivel pole and a bearings which
supports an axle of the fin-blades. During storm wind force which pushing fin-
blades can damage the bearings due to strong pressure on it. There is need for an
inexpensive device which fins are self -adjustable to any direction of wind without
the direction fin and the swivel pole and having no pressure on the bearing.
In prior art, a high power wind drive turbine for the generator is disposed at a very
high and a very srong pole as fin blades are verticaly disposed. There is need for a
simple device having horizontaly disposed lever with fins thereon which is posted
on a short rotating pole or shaft suitable for installation on existing bindings or hills.
In the prior art, a wind drive turbine for a boat is disposed on a shaft which is
incorporated in the boat at an incline angle. Fin-blades of such turbine which are
not disposed on a swivel pole can not be exposed all the time toward wind
whithout problems with steering and with stability of the boat during storm. There is need for an inexpensive device having efficient steering and fins which are self-adjustable to any direction of wind and all the time transmiting rotational
force through the shaft to a water turbine without increasing instability during storm
and without any direct pushing the boat by wind through the shaft and the turbine.
In the prior art, fins which are attached to feet use force of legs for moving a body.
When legs and feet oscilate fins pushing water transmiting pushing force from each foot to the body through each leg. This movement and transmission cause
fatigue in legs and feet. There is need for an inexpensive device which supports
the body besides legs distributing the transmission force thereon reducing fatigue.

Iever bar with the fin thereon acts on water with smaller pushing force on longer
way converting wave force into pushing force which moves the boat and in that the
fin is self-adjustable to water resistance within limits determinated by a blocking
angle and in that the momentum of force is controled by the mobile Iever bar.
