A device of floating wind turbines comprises a floating foundation, the wind turbine mounted on the floating foundation, and a seabed anchor attached to the floating foundation, wherein the floating foundation is installed with two wind turbines and is attached to the seabed anchor by a tether, the two wind turbines are configured such that one of the two wind turbines has blades rotated in clockwise direction while the other of the two wind turbines has blades rotated in counter-clockwise direction, both turbines have an approximately equal speed and output power; whereby, due to both turbines having an approximately equal speed and output power, the torques existed in the wind turbines can be naturally counterbalanced, such that the wind turbines and the floating foundation can be maintained at a balance.
A device of floating wind turbine capable of counterbalancing torques therein, comprising a floating foundation, the wind turbine mounted on said floating foundation, and a seabed anchor attached to said floating station so that said floating foundation can drift in the sea along wind direction to have blades of said wind turbine aligned with wind direction, the device characterized in that:
