Abstract
A turbine system for wind and/or water power is characterized in that two radial turbines (1, 2) aligned next to each other and in parallel are arranged having a vertical axis of rotation, said radial turbines being connected to each other and being pivotable about a pivot axis (3) parallel to the turbine axes (18), wherein the pivot axis and a V-shaped wind distributor (3) are located outside the connecting line between the turbine axes and both on the same side of the connecting line.
Claims7
A wind or water-powered generator comprising:
- two interconnected radial turbines oriented parallel side by side and each having a vertical rotation shaft and upper and lower horizontal end fixed wind-guide plates each in turn having an outer edge chamfered away from the respective turbine;
- a V-shaped wind splitter;
- and
- a pivot shaft parallel to the turbine shafts and supporting the turbines and the V-shaped wind splitter for rotation about a vertical axis positioned outside a connecting line extending horizontally between the turbine shafts with both of the turbines being on the same side of the connecting line.
