  • Patent number: 10871143
    Abstract: A vertical axis wind turbine includes two or more cells arranged one above the other along a vertical machine axis, wherein each of the cells includes a plurality of vertical blades which are arranged within the cell distributed on a concentric circle about the machine axis and which are connected so as to be able to move together on this circle and which are rotationally fixed with a main shaft, and wherein the blades in the cell are each individually mounted so as to be able to rotate about a vertical axis of rotation which in particular runs internally through them.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2020
    Assignee: Agile Wind Power AG
    Inventors: Karl Bahnmüller, Hans Thomas Hug

  • Publication number: 20140331638
    Abstract: To provide a method for producing a catalyst flow element (100) by means of which robustly constructed catalyst flow elements (100) usable in a broad field of operation are producible, it is proposed that the following method steps be performed in the method: providing a main body (102) including a plurality of flow channels (104); introducing slots (116) into partition walls (110) of the main body (102), which separate the flow channels (104) from one another such that at least two adjacent flow channels (104) are connected together fluidically within the main body (102) in a common end region (130) of the at least two adjacent flow channels (104); and arranging channel closures (118) in the common end region (130) for fluid-tight closure of the common end region (130) while maintaining the fluidic connection between the at least two adjacent flow channels (104) in the common end region (130).
