  • Power generation and distribution system for a wind turbine
    Patent number: 9416773
    Abstract: A power distribution system for a wind turbine having a base and a nacelle, the wind turbine being coupled to a power grid. The system can include a main power circuit, the main power circuit including a generator, a main power transformer, and a first current interrupter. The system can further include an auxiliary circuit, the auxiliary circuit including a second current interrupter, an auxiliary transformer, and at least one auxiliary component, and a junction coupled to the main power circuit, the auxiliary circuit, and the power grid.

  • Vibration and shock absorber device
    Patent number: 5062507
    Abstract: A vibration and shock absorber device, comprising a metal body constituted by one or more helically wound lengths of cable (1) and two bars (10, 20) interconnecting the turns in two diametrically opposite zones, with a layer of elastomer material (30) coating the structure and leaving a central orifice (31, 32, 33, 34). The turns of the lengths of cable (1) are greased or otherwise treated to prevent them from adhering to the elastomer material (30).

  • Method of electrochemical machining
    Patent number: 4153524
    Abstract: A pulsating current comprising only positive half-waves separated by zero-current intervals is fed into an electrolyte between two electrodes in which the cathode is constituted by a tool and the anode is constituted by a part to be machined in accordance with the profile of the cathode. The electrolyte is of the passivating type which preferably contains between 30 and 50 grams per liter of sodium nitrate.
