Abstract
A carrying structure has a wall which defines a duct. A central structure comprising an axial-flow turbine and a generator is disposed in said duct. At least two radial arms, which are substantially horizontal, are rigidly fixed to said wall and hinged to said central structure.
Claims6
In a power plant which comprises
- (1) a carrying structure having a wall defining a duct having an axis,
- (2) a central structure comprising an axial-flow turbine and a generator,
- (a) the central structure being disposed substantially coaxially in the duct, and
- (3) a pair of radial arms rigidly fixed to the wall and extending diametrically and substantially perpendicularly to the axis, on a horizontal plane, the improvement of
- (4) hinge means connecting each of the arms to the central structure for pivoting the central structure about an axis substantially parallel to the axis of the duct.
