Abstract
A device (1) is described for generating energy, composed of at least two ultralight airfoils (3, 5) rotating along their own axis, which functionally reproduce the characteristics of a propeller. The ultralight airfoils (3, 5) which characterize such aerodynamic configuration use pulling means (9, 14, 20) to keep their shape when operating. An important weight reduction of the structure is thus obtained, which allows different applications in the aeolian generation field.

1-10. (canceled)
A device for generating energy, wherein the device is composed of at least two ultralight rotating airfoils, the airfoils being equipped with pulling means for keeping an aerodynamic shape of the airfoils when using the airfoils, the airfoils being mutually connected and rotated around an axis of the airfoils through a force applied by wind, so as to emulate a propeller performance.
