The energy converter consists of blades 1 made of light-conducting material, the base 2, of which, for example, their butt, is installed in the side holes 3 of the horizontally located cup 4, in the open part of which the bearing 5 is pressed in. in the inner ring of which a cartridge 6 is pressed in. a bulb 7 is screwed in. A cartridge 6 is mounted in an adapter 8 _A which is mounted on a tripod 9 ending with a thrust bearing 10 _{Λ The} thrust bearing 10 can be mounted on the base 11 of the structure, for example, on the roof of a building or on another device.

In order to strengthen the design of the device, the base 2 of the blades 1 .can be mounted on bushings 12 * for example, by means of a threaded connection, installed, for example, by welding, on the sides of the cup 4 axially to the holes 3, and the cup 4 can be mounted on the tube 13 through bearings 5, and the cartridge is fixed at the end of this tube 13 / _. and in this case is not a carrier. Thus, the glass 4. with the blades 1 mounted on it. Mounted on the cartridge 6 or on the tube 13 _c rotatable around its axis. From the cartridge 6 of the electric wire 14 pass through the tube 13 to the adapter & and the tripod 9., and then to the source of electric current.

The movable part of the device may be associated with an auxiliary drive. For example, on the cup 4. Can be fixed, for example, pressed in, gear 15 connected to another gear 16, mounted on the shaft 17. engine 18, for example, an electric motor, which can be installed on the adapter 8 using the frame 19 with the flanges 20-

The source of electric current in the claimed device can be an electric generator 21 installed in a glass 4 and consisting of an armature 22 ₄ which is its rotor, placed in a housing 23 _L connected to the housing 24. Of the inductor 25 through bearings 5 with the possibility of rotation relative to the axis of the latter, which This case is a stator. The housing 24 of the inductor 25 is fastened to the stem 27 by means of flanges 26 ^{', the} opposite end of which is fixed with a fixing bolt 28, in the sleeve 29 which is welded to the tripod 9. A gap 30 is made between the armature 22 and the inductor 25. Cartridges 6 are electrically connected to the housing 23 with the exit of the armature 22, in which the bulbs 7 are installed located in the cavity 31, and made in the base 2 of the light guide blades U which are mounted on the cup 4 with their flanges 32. Thus, the armature 22, its body 23, cup 4, cartridge b ,, bulb 7 and fall off 1 connected to each other with the possibility of rotation around the joint axis of the housing 24 <zhdyktopa 25.

The energy converter can be made in the form of a weather vane. In this case, from the opposite side with respect to the cup 4 mounted on it is pressed into a ferrule 33 connected to the control wing 34 <for example, welded to it, and the tripod 9 is divided into two parts, the upper and lower, between which the bearing 35 is mounted. In this specific example, the cup 4 j with the generator installed in it 21-, rod 27, wing 34 and the upper part of the tripod 9 are mounted on the lower part of the tripod 9 through bearings 35 with the possibility of rotation around the axis of the lower part of the tripod 9 ,.

The wing 34 can be made the same as the blades l from the light-conducting material, and a lamp 7 can be installed at its base. In this case, the armature 22,. Can be mounted directly in the tube 13 fixed in the sleeve 29 and act as a generator stator 21 On the opposite side of the tube 13, a cartridge 6. is installed to which electric wires 14. are suitable from the output of the armature 22 with a bulb 7 mounted on the cartridge. At the end of the tube 13, a clip 36 * is mounted, for example, pressed onto it, and a base 37 is inserted into the clip 36. yayuschego wing 34 / e.g. pressed into it, and the body 24 of the inductor 25 is connected with the glass 4. £ possibility of co-rotation, a rotor fulfilling the function generator 21. The wing 34 also vtozhet called tail.

The light guide material from which the movable elements can be made, including the blades 1 and the control wing 34 _/ Can be implemented in various ways. For example, the blades 1 or the wing 34. Can be made of a thin layer of transparent material, for example glass 38, inside which a cavity 31 is made covering most of their volume, and a thin layer of fused silica is deposited, for example, sprayed, for example, or without spraying they are made of quartz glass, or they can be made of solid quartz glass, or in the cavity 31, optical fibers without a sheath are installed, the beginning of which is made near the bulbs 7 and they may not be completely made of light-conducting material, and ^ o least ^ part of their volume can be made of light-conducting material, which is enough for the functioning of the energy converter.

The blades 1 together with the cup 4 or the stem 27 / on which they are mounted can be called the rotor of the device, which can have a completely different shape, for example, the shape of a screw rotor or rotor with screw blades 39 mounted on the shaft 40, the base of which is fixed in the cup 4 with side of the muffled end, in which for this purpose a hole is made for pressing it in and bringing light bulbs to it 7

Figure 10, U, 12 shows examples of the electrical circuit of the generator device. For example, the functions of the armature 22 Λi can be performed by the electrical windings 41- and the role of the inductor 25 vi can be performed by the permanent magnets 42, while the excitation winding 43 can also perform the same function.

The blades 1 can be mounted on the glass 4, for example, welded to it, away from the holes 3 and can be made not of light-conducting material, but for example of metal, or these blades 1 are made of light-conducting material and are optically coupled to a light source. Then perform additional holes 44 in the glass 4. in this case, in order to seal the glass 4, its openings 3 in this case can be closed with glass inserted into them, or the glass 4 can be made of translucent material with more transparent areas in the shape of a circle or ellipse, matching, for example, in shape with holes 44, -

The blades 1 can be mounted away from the cup 4. In this example, the cup 4 is mounted directly using bearings 5 on a tripod 9 / with the possibility of rotation around its and its axis, and from the outside in the lower part of the cup 4, a gear 45 is mounted, for example, is pressed onto him. Perpendicular to the axis of the tripod 9, a ferrule 46 _{/ is} mounted on it, for example, is welded to it, it is fixed with a bearing 5 tptok 27 with the possibility of rotation around its axis and the axis of the ferrule 46, on the opposite side, blades 1 are fixed on this rod 27, for example, welded to provided it is made of metal, a bevel gear wheel 47 is installed between them and bearings 5, for example, it is pressed onto the rod 27 and kinematically connected to the other part of the gear 47 by gear 45 _*

A permanent magnet 48 _^ can be attached to the thrust bearing 10, for example, glued to it, which allows the energy converter to be fixed to any surface made of iron (for example, a car cover) using only the force of magnetic attraction. In general, it can be assumed that a fixed permanent magnet is mounted on the fixed part of the power converter housing.

The electrical circuit of the energy converter may include a switch 49, the contacts of which are installed in series with the load of the electric current source, to which the electric generator 21 can be added, for example, to the light source - bulb 1 on wires 14,

A light source, such as a bulb 7, may not necessarily be located at the base of the movable elements. Made of light-conducting material, it can be located at any point, for example, in their center, and wires are connected to it through channel 50

H

Bulb 7 can be replaced by any light source, so it can generally be called a light source. The blades 1, together with the moving parts of the device on which the source 7 is installed, can generally be called the rotor of the energy converter or its rotor blade. The glass 4 may be made of a transparent, translucent, and opaque material or complex material.

Auxiliary drive, motor 18 _ or electric motor is kinematically connected with moving elements of the energy converter, for example, with its rotor, the main parts of which are blades 1 of various shapes.

The light guide material from which at least a part of the volume of the movable elements of the energy converter is made, for example, the blades 1, the control wing 34, can be called a light guide, i.e. can be called that these moving parts are made of optical fibers. Fiber optics refers primarily to a material with increased light transmission, for example, with attenuation from 100 dB / km to 10 dB / km. These properties are possessed by materials based on borosilicate glass or "quartz polymer", and the use of fiber optic technology is also possible. These movable elements can be made entirely of light-conducting material. In general, one can apply the expression - a light source, for example, a 7 _^ bulb is optically coupled to at least part of the volume of movable elements, for example, a rotor with L blades made of light-conducting material, when performing an energy transformer in the form of a weather vane, this light source is optically coupled to at least a part of the volume of the control wing 34 made of light guide material.

When the generator 21 is used in the design of the energy converter, the winding 4 \ of the armature 22. Which is electrically connected to the light source, for example, to the bulb 7, forming a closed circuit with it, we can generally use the expression that the output of the electric generator 21 is electrically connected to the light source, for example with a light bulb λ _λ which is optically coupled to at least a part of the volume of the moving elements of the energy converter, for example, its rotor with blades L made of light-conducting material. An energy converter may contain several light sources, several electric generators and several control wings, but one of the listed elements is sufficient for its operation, so the expression, at least 'is suitable for them.'

One could also say that part of the movable elements kinematically connected with the energy converters driven (e.g. glass 4 being movable element power converters through a gear transmission is connected to the motor 18). ^'

The energy converter operates as follows:

When you turn on the light source, such as bulbs 1-, the light passes from the base to at least part of the volume of the blades l, and they begin to glow, acting as a lamp. Under the influence of the wind, the blades 1 together with the glass 4 begin to rotate, continuing to glow, thereby creating an additional effect. If there is a drive in the design of the energy converter kinematically connected to the rotor of the converter, for example, the motor 18 is kinematically ll ^' associated with the blades 1, when it is turned on, the rotation from the shaft 17 through gears 15 and 16 ^ and the glass 4 is transmitted to the luminous blades \, thereby creating a light effect, and at the same time acting as a fan.

When using the electrical generator 21, power converters in the structure under the influence of wind blades begin to rotate] ^'th. together with them, the armature 22 begins to rotate, in which the inductor 25 begins to excite EMF (electromotive force), resulting in an electric current in the winding circuit 41 jory 22 load, for example a light source, while the bulb 7 _{* is} electrically connected with the output of the generator 21 i mounted on the movable elements of the energy converter with the possibility of joint rotation with its parts, for example with the blades 1, lights up and transmits its glow through the base 2. to the blades J, and the stronger the wind and rotation of the blades 1, the brighter they are Ts blades thereby the brightness of their glow is an indicator of the strength of the wind.

When installing the armature 22 motionless, and the inductor 25 is movably and mechanically connected with the rotor of the energy converter with blades 1, while rotating the latter, the inductor 25 rotates around the armature 22, exciting EMF and current in the circuit winding 41 is a light source, for example a bulb 7, which in this case, it is mounted motionless relative to the rotor of the energy converter with blades 1.

When performing the energy converter in the form of a weather vane, it becomes possible not only to rotate the blades 1 around the axis of the rod 27, but also to rotate the rod 27 relative to the axis of the tripod 9 together with the blades 1 and the control wing 34, which is also. (Like the rotor ₎ energy transducer with blades 1 can be reckoned with its movable elements.

When at least part of the volume of the control wing 34 is made of light-conducting material, a light source connected to the output of the generator 21, for example, a bulb 7, to its base 37 can be brought to it, and the wing 34 will begin to glow when the blades 1 rotate. This wing 34 made in the shape of an arrow, it will indicate the direction of the wind.

The energy converter can be made in the form of a signal device. In this case, the glass 4 when rotating the blades 1, with which they are mechanically connected, will also rotate when the blades 1 rotate, and the holes 44 rotating, will create the effect of a blinking light.

The blades 1 can be of various shapes.

So, for example, in the cup 4, which can be made of light-conducting material, rods 51 are installed, or else they can be called tubes, which can also be made of light-conducting material, which are at least partially, for example, pressed into holes 3 located in its upper parts, or cast at the same time with a glass 4 of light-conducting material. At the end of the rods 51, cup-shaped blades 52 are installed, which can also be called saucer-shaped or plate-shaped blades, which can also be made of light-conducting material, for example, cast entirely with rods 51 of light-conducting material. Otherwise, the design of the device may coincide with the design of the examples given earlier, so in the case of the glass 4 additional holes 44 can be made, while the glass 4 is mounted on a tripod 9 through bearings 5 with the possibility of joint rotation with the rods 51 and blades 52, and a light source is installed inside the cup 4, for example, a bulb 7 on a tripod 9.

In the glass 4 on a tripod 9 can be installed a generator 21, electrically connected to a light source, for example a bulb 7.

In order to use air flows in the upper part of the atmosphere, the energy converter can be mounted on the balloon 53 using slings 54, which are connected to a bearing 55 mounted on the housing of the energy converter. A bearing 56 is mounted on the opposite side of the housing, on which a ring 57 is fixed, to which a cable 58 is connected, fastened by its lower part to a hook 59 mounted on the thrust bearing 10 and connected to the base 11 of the structure or soil. But the energy converter can be fastened to the balloon 53 with the possibility of joint flight with him. In this case, the fixing cable 58 may be disconnected.

A support 60 can be mounted on a tripod 9 through bearings 5 with the possibility of rotation around its axis, which functions as a cup 4 and is kinematically independent of it. Between the bearings 5 of the cage 60, in the gap of the tripod 9, a light source can be installed, for example a bulb 7, the housing 61 of which can be found between the upper and lower parts of this gap. An opening 3 can be made in the holder 60 into which the base 37 of the control wing 34 is pressed in, which can be made of light-conducting material. In this example, the wing 34 is not kinematically connected with the blades 52, and therefore, strictly speaking, it is not a control, but conditionally the applicant generalizes the name of these wings given in various examples. Power supply to the light source 7, located in the clip 60 _; can supplied from a generator 21 or from a source located outside the power plant.

When performing an energy converter according to. 17-22, it is possible to fasten it to a balloon 53 directly through a tripod 9, to which a ring 57 is connected, for example welded to it, and on which slings 54 are mounted. The energy converter can be mounted on a balloon in free flight with it, or fixed together with it, in this example, through the bearing 56 mounted on the end of the cup 4 and the ring 57 is fixed to this bearing using a cable 58 according to the previous example, connected to the hook 59 of the thrust bearing 10. (Fig.23-24).

The cup-shaped blades 52 begin to rotate because the wind resistance of the blades 52, located towards him with the open part, is much greater than that of the blades 52, located towards him with their streamlined bottom, and a pressure difference arises between the blades 52 located on opposite sides of the cup 4 Thus, the force that rotates the blades 52, the rods 51 and the cup 4 is determined. During rotation, they can glow if they are made of light-conducting material, as in this case the blades 1 glow. Light to the blades 52 in front of etsya from the light source, for example light bulbs 7 through rods 51. However, the blade 52 may be made of an opaque material. Then only the additional signal holes 44 made on the glass 4 below will light.

Bearings 55 and 56, when the power transducer is mounted on a balloon 53, allow the converter elements to rotate independently of balloon 53. The rotational speed of the blades 52 shows the strength of the wind, and the control wing 34 indicates its direction.
