  • Publication number: 20220163011
    Abstract: A rotor for power driving includes a hub, a plurality of first fixed jibs, a plurality of second fixed jibs, and a plurality of outer vanes. The hub is adapted to be coupled with a shaft to rotate together in a single rotational direction. The first fixed jibs are arranged around the hub circumferentially. Each second fixed jib is engaged on an end of a corresponding first fixed jib. Each outer vane is elastically fixed at a corresponding second fixed jib and extends in a direction different from the single rotation direction when not acted upon by external forces such that the plurality of outer vanes, when acted upon by external forces, are elastically movable relative to corresponding second fixed jibs to drive the shaft to rotate along the single rotational direction and can rebound after removal of the external forces.

  • Patent number: 11280313
    Abstract: A rotor (10) for power driving includes a hub (12), a plurality of fixed jibs (14), and a plurality of vanes (16). The hub (12) is adapted to be coupled with a mechanical shaft (24) which is driven by winds, water flows or tides as driving sources. The fixed jibs (14) are arranged around the hub (12) circumferentially and spaced from one another. Each fixed jib (14) extends in a radial direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the shaft (24). Each vane (16) is elastically fixed at one of the fixed jibs (14) such that the vanes (16) on which external forces act are elastically movable relative to the fixed jibs (14) and rebound after removal of the external forces.
