Abstract
The invention relates to a device, having at least one rotor, which has an axis of symmetry with respect to which the rotor is rotationally symmetrical and which is rotationally motor-driven about the axis of symmetry of the rotor and which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation arranged transverse to the axis of symmetry such that, in the event of incident flow of a fluid, the rotor is rotationally driven in a rotational motion about the axis of rotation by means of a force acting transversely to the fluid flow. Said device enables the production of a rotational motion when the rotor is translationally driven in the fluid relative to the fluid in the longitudinal direction of the axis of rotation.
Claims3
Device, having at least one rotor
- with an axis of symmetry to which the rotor is rotationally symmetrical,
- which is driven about its axis of symmetry by means of a motor,
- which is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation which is transverse to the axis of symmetry, so that the rotor, in the event of an incident flow with a fluid, is driven in a rotational movement about the axis of rotation by a force acting transversely to the fluid flow, and
- which is translational driven in the fluid relative to the fluid in the longitudinal direction of the axis of rotation.
