  • Publication number: 20160144968
    Abstract: Provided is a fuel-efficient method of flying an aircraft for flying an aircraft. The present invention relates to a method of flying an aircraft 1 having a fuselage 2, primary wings 3, and high-power engines 6 serving as driving units for generating a thrust. The method of flying an aircraft comprising: determining a combination of said primary wings 3 and high-power engines 6 so that a total wing area of said primary wings 2 is proportionally correlated to an power output of said high-power engines 6, generating a comparatively large lifting power using said primary wings 3 having large wing areas, elevating said aircraft 1 to a high altitude, and flying said aircraft 1 at high speeds and altitudes using said high-power engine 6.

  • Patent number: 8740564
    Abstract: A vertical axis wind turbine generator whose blade is allowed to stably operate according to a win force, with a simple structure. The generator is equipped with an arm whose proximal end is coupled to a rotating shaft and whose front edge is provided laterally to a rotating central axis line, and a blade mounted on the arm. A pair of divided blade plates is arranged in a V-shaped form. One sides of the blades are pivotally coupled together, while the opposite sides are provided in openable and closable manner. Coil springs are interposed between the blade plates and the arm. The blade plates are allowed to open or close according to wind directions and wind pressures, so that the rotation speed is regulated with a simple structure, enabling stable electric power generation.

  • Wig
    Patent number: 6012460
    Abstract: A wig which is easy to attach and detach, with comfortableness in use. A wig 1 comprises a skin body, having a curved face for covering the head and the hair 3 provided on its surface, a first Hook and Loop fastener 4 provided on the skin body, and second plural Hook and Loop fasteners 5 for the head. Each second Hook and Loop fastener 5 is attached to the user's own hair, corresponding to the nearly intermediate portion of the width of the fastener 4, around his head. With the Hook and Loop fasteners 4 and 5, there can be provided a wig which is easy to attach and detach, with comfortablenss in use.

  • Patent number: 5616963
    Abstract: A wind power generator having a plurality of wind mill blades whose pitch angles stably vary depending upon the wind power. A plurality of spokes radially extend from a horizontal power shaft. A plurality of protrusions respectively projecting from the spokes and the wind mill blades are paired with opposite protrusions by connector shaft. Each blade is rockable within a range from an extremely inclined position to a plane perpendicular to the power shaft to neary 90 degrees to the plane. One side of the wind mill blade strikes on the spoke at the above extremely inclined position. A plurality of blade springs are sandwiched in a compressed state between the spokes and the wind mill blades, surrouding the connector shafts respectively. Thus, each blade is biased toward the closing direction relative to the plane. If the wind is not so strong, each blade faces it to rotate the power shaft.

  • Patent number: 4673822
    Abstract: Wind mill blades are mounted on spokes provided on a power shaft via springs, and thereby in an ordinary wind velocity the wind mill blades are adjusted into a prescribed angle, while in a storm they are made parallel to the direction of a wind, thus enabling the wind mill blades, etc., to be prevented from being damaged and the wind mill blades to be large-sized.
