  • Patent number: 11898543
    Abstract: A high performance hybrid turbine is provided which has an impeller towards which a fluid flow of water, air, or other fluid is conveyed for rotation of the impeller around an axis of rotation. The impeller exploits the thrusts that the fluid flow exerts on the elements constituting the impeller and the thrusts generated by a certain number of airfoils provided inside the elements of the impeller. The high performance hybrid turbine, if used as a wind turbine, can operate at much higher wind speeds than conventional wind turbines.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignees: UNIVERSITA' DELLA CALABRIA, OFFICINE MECCANICHE ZEMA

  • Patent number: 7752815
    Abstract: A structure used as a covering and, having different functions, includes several section bars (700, 701, 101?) preferably made of aluminum or generally of light metal, which form uprights (701) and horizontal support beams (101?; 700). The structure includes aseismatic elements (306; 307; 319) at the interconnection or branching points between the horizontal section bars (beams) and the vertical section bars (uprights), and at the base of the uprights. At these points there are also provided elements (2, 303, 304, 308) to promote the downflow of rainwater. The structure is equipped with at least one telescopic roof that may be transparent or not. Additional functions provided by the structure are the anti-wind function, the water drainage from the roof, the self-cleaning function used for automatically cleaning the, roof with water jets and scraping gaskets, etc.
