Claims8
A rotor comprising:
- soft rotor structures fixed to a rotor shaft, which soft rotor structures are of a soft material,
- wherein each of the soft rotor structures forms a modified conical cylinder when an air or water current flows through the each of the soft rotor structures, wherein the modified conical cylinder is asymmetrical when viewed in a lateral side view and has a first side and a second side downstream of the first side, and wherein the first side and the second side are oblique to each other when viewed in the lateral side view and
- wherein the modified conical cylinder further has a lateral side between the first side and the second side, the lateral side being continuous so that the lateral side forms a loop, part of the first side being attached to the rotor shaft.
