Abstract
A Magnus rotor is provided. The Magnus rotor is located in a flowing fluid and driven to rotate by a power source. The Magnus rotor includes a Magnus rotor main body and a blade assembly. The Magnus rotor main body includes a cylinder side wall, a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end are disposed in one end and the other end of the cylinder side wall, respectively. The Magnus rotor is rotated around an axis connected between a first center point of the first end and a second center point of the second end. The blade assembly includes a plurality of blades which are disposed around the first end. Each blade is inclined toward a direction. A gap is formed between each two adjacent blades. Each gap is formed as a flowing channel for allowing the fluid to flow therethrough.
Claims19
A Magnus rotor, located in flowing fluid and driven to rotate by a power source, the Magnus rotor comprising:
- a Magnus rotor main body comprising:
- a cylinder side wall;
- a first end disposed in one end of the cylinder side wall and comprising an install portion;
- and
- a second end disposed in the other end of the cylinder side wall and opposite to the first end, wherein a connection line between a first center point of the first end and a second center point of the second end is formed as an axis, and the Magnus rotor is rotated around the axis;
- and
- a first blade assembly comprising a plurality of first blades and a plurality of connection portions, wherein the plurality of first blades are disposed around the first end and adjacent to the first end, each first blade is inclined toward a first direction, a first gap is formed between each two adjacent first blades, each first gap is formed as a first flowing channel for allowing the fluid to flow therethrough, wherein each connection portion is connected with the install portion and the corresponding first blade, and the install portion controls each connection portion to change an inclination angle of each first blade.
A Magnus rotor, located in flowing fluid and driven to rotate by a power source, the Magnus rotor comprising:
- a Magnus rotor main body comprising:
- a cylinder side wall;
- a first end disposed in one end of the cylinder side wall;
- and
- a second end disposed in the other end of the cylinder side wall and opposite to the first end, wherein a connection line between a first center point of the first end and a second center point of the second end is formed as an axis, and the Magnus rotor is rotated around the axis;
- and a first blade assembly comprising a plurality of first blades, wherein the plurality of first blades are disposed around the first end and adjacent to the first end, each first blade is inclined toward a first direction, a first gap is formed between each two adjacent first blades, each first gap is formed as a first flowing channel for allowing the fluid to flow therethrough, wherein the first end comprises an install portion connected with the first blade assembly, the install portion is rotated independently, the install portion comprises a power source which is independent for driving the install portion to rotate, and a rotation speed and a rotation direction of the first blade assembly rotated around the axis are controlled by the power source of the install portion, wherein the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the first blade assembly rotated around the axis are not related to a rotation speed and a rotation direction of the Magnus rotor main body.
A Magnus rotor, located in flowing fluid and driven to rotate by a power source, the Magnus rotor comprising:
