Abstract
The wind turbine 20 has sail wings 92 that catch the wind and rotate the turbine wheel 22. The sail wings may be twisted about their longitudinal axis 94 to form pitch and twist in the said wings. A generator is movably positioned in an arc of movement of the turbine wheel and adjusts to the lateral movement of the turbine wheel. Air and liquid cooling is provided to the coils of the rotor and stator of the generator.
Claims10
A wind turbine assembly for generating electricity, comprising:
- floatable support,
- a pair of wind turbines mounted side-by-side on said floatable support,
- each of said turbines of said pair of wind turbines including sail wings that rotate in response to wind moving about said sail wings,
- said sail wings each having a pitch, the pitch of the sail wings of one of said wind turbines being opposite to the pitch of the sail wings of the other of said wind turbines, and
- an electrical generator mounted in engagement with each of said wind turbines for generating electricity in response to the rotation of said wind turbines.
