Definitions

  • Wind mills or wind motors on a vertical axis have been known for a long time, see GRACEY U.S. Patent 1 ,352,952, and MOORE 1 ,915,689.
  • Means moving vanes or panels from a position substantially at right angles to the direction of the wind, to a position at which they are substantially parallel to the wind are well known; see MOORE, supra, and BAIR 4,303,835.
  • the object in the various prior art references has been to provide continuous rotation of a shaft, see LINDHORN 6,619,921 , even when the windmill itself is capable of being driven in a reverse direction, see OUELLET 5,126,584.
  • the vanes, panels or paddles are designed to oscillate, going through on the order of 120° for a hinged type to 80 degrees for a non-hinged type with flaps, and reversing, occupying a great deal less space than the conventional windmill.
  • the windmill of this invention can be used in combination with the usual windmill of the lift type, which rotates on a horizontal axis, the sort of windmill now used extensively in windmill farms, for the generation of electricity. The latter windmills occupy a large amount of space.
  • the panels or rotors of these windmills commonly describe a circle hundreds of feet in diameter, and the closest placement of adjacent windmills or turbines is recommended to be the length of at least five times the diameter of the wind turbine's rotor, the adjacent wind turbines in the array are often placed at a distance of a quarter of a mile to half a mile, so that the air stream has time "to recover”.
  • an oscillating windmill that, in its most elementary form, consists of vanes or panels positioned at opposite ends of horizontal rods connected to a vertical shaft driven by the panels alternately clockwise and counterclockwise.
  • the panel on one end of a rod is oriented to catch wind while the panel on the other end is oriented to present the least surface to the wind, and means are provided for reversing the orientation of the panels so that the rod is driven in the other direction when it has rotated through an arc sufficient to rotate the vertical shaft enough to accomplish useful work, but not through a full 180° if the windmill is to operate efficiently.
  • the vanes move the rod through no more than 120°, that is, 60° from a centerline.
  • the vanes of the present invention are preferably either hinged, so as to present their maximum drag force through the entire range of oscillation, or unhinged, with flaps, so as to present a large drag force at close to its maximum negative angle.
  • the oscillating arms drive a plurality of generators, through a system of gears increasing the speed of rotation of the generators.
  • the oscillating windmill just described can be combined with a windmill of the lift type rotating on a horizontal axis, the shaft of the oscillating windmill being mechanically connected with a generator connected electrically to the generator of the lift type windmill.
  • Figure 1 is a series of views in plan of one embodiment of oscillating windmill of this invention, illustrating its operation
  • Figure 2 is a series of views in side elevation of the embodiment of oscillating windmill of this invention shown in figure 1 , illustrating its operation.
  • Figure 3 is a series of views in plan of two embodiments of oscillating windmill of this invention, illustrating their operations, as compared with a non- hinged wind panel such as is the subject of my provisional application serial no. 60/866,127, filed November 16, 2006;

  • Reference No. 1 indicates one of two oppositely disposed hinged panels.
  • the opposite hinged panel indicated by the Reference No. 2 also has a hinge 3, carried by a rod 4 journaled in a tube 6 and connected to a flipping mechanism 8 carried by a vertical shaft 10.
  • the shaft 10 can be part of a system described in my provisional application Serial No. 60/866,127.
  • shaft 10 carries arms 15, as shown in Figs. 4-1 1 , 14 -A-
  • the arms 15 in turn carry cog wheel segments 20 that mesh with drive gears 23.
  • the arm 15 can be driven by non-hinged wind panels as well as the hinged panels.
  • Figure 3 illustrates thus use.
  • the drive gear 23 is connected to drive either a gear wheel 25 in the embodiment shown in 4 and 5 or a sheave 26 as shown in Figs. 6-1 1 , 14 and 15.
  • the gear wheel 25 drives a smaller gear 28 connected to power a generator 30, through a clutch, to ensure that the generator is always driven in the same direction.
  • the drive gear is connected to a drive sheave 35, which drives a belt or chain 37, which in turn drives one or more generators, through a clutch.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un moulin oscillant comportant un arbre vertical supporté au niveau de son extrémité inférieure pour la rotation, et des palettes montées sur des extrémités respectives de tiges reliées de manière fonctionnelle à l'arbre vertical, les panneaux étant articulés de manière à toujours présenter une surface perpendiculaire à la direction du vent touchant l'une desdites palettes. Un dispositif permettant de faire passer lesdites palettes d'une position formant sensiblement un angle droit avec la direction du vent à une position parallèle à la direction dudit vent est prévu. Un système de génération est également prévu, composé de pales oscillantes reliées de manière à entraîner deux ou plus de deux générateurs au moyen de bras reliés à l'arbre vertical, les bras supportant un segment à roue dentée engrenant un pignon d'entraînement relié de manière fonctionnelle soit à une roue dentée, soit à une roue lisse, présentant toutes les deux un diamètre supérieur à celui du pignon d'entraînement, la roue dentée ou la roue lisse étant reliée de manière fonctionnelle à deux ou plus de deux générateurs.
