Abstract: A multi-row corn header grooved set allows harvesting with a single com header having fixed distance between rows, for instance at 525 mm, and multiple distancing between rows, for which purpose it bears trimmed or emptied caps on its sides in lieu of conventional headers. Trimmed caps used in combination with lifting sets or grooves designed to form an opening with greater width than that of the transport channel, allows for contact with the plant in a manner such as to avoid rubbing on the most rigid part of the stem, thus preventing shakes, breaks or excessive tilting, which certainly determines the obtention of an effective harvest, upon obtaining ears without practically any waste. That is to say, the grooved set allows that plants entering from outside of the central row of the collection unit reach the same without being cut, broken, shaken or tilted.

Abstract: A synchronic generator comprises at least a stator and at least two windings placed opposite and parallel to its rotation axis and at least a refrigeration system. The design of this generator allows a better use of the space close to the external diameter of the generator, allowing a power increase and minimizing the weight without increasing the external diameter of the generator. Depending on wind conditions, one or both windings can work at the same time, which optimizes yield, versatility and reliability.
