No problem if the floating body is unstable! Introducing floating wind turbine systems that can be used even on a small scale.
The "floating cross-axis wind turbine" supports the rotation axis of the wind turbine with dual bearings, allowing it to always receive wind from the same direction, making it a product that can reinforce the support structure. Since the rotation axis of the wind turbine intersects with the wind direction, the posture of the rotor in relation to the wind does not change even if the floating body sways. When a gravity-operated opening and closing panel is attached to the blade, the panel opens when the rotor's rotational speed is low, increasing the wind-catching surface area (drag-type wing). Conversely, when the rotational speed is high, the panel closes due to centrifugal force and other factors (lift-type wing). 【Features】 ■ The rotation axis of the wind turbine intersects with the wind direction ■ The orientation of the wind turbine naturally aligns with the wind direction ■ The structural strength of the wind turbine support can be enhanced ■ Opening and closing panels can be attached to the blades *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
