  • Patent number: 4522600
    Abstract: There is provided a wind propulsion device for driving a transmission shaft connected through intermediate members with devices for force transmission. The wind propulsion device comprises a wind impeller having a plurality of wind wings which are concavely curved against the air stream. The wind wings are axially connected to a semisphere convexly curved against the air stream which is axially disposed with respect to said impeller. The semisphere guides the air stream impinging on the center of the impeller to the tips of the wings for efficient wind utilization.

  • Patent number: 4495424
    Abstract: A plant for the combined utilization of energy from both wind and waves includes a plurality of fluid flow engines for utilizing both energies, and generating power therefrom. Each engine includes blades for making use of the energy of the wind, and a float for making use of the energy of the waves. The engines operate a common turbogenerator, and a floating carrier receives the turbogenerator. A low-loss power transmission is provided for transmitting power generated by the engines to the turbogenerator; it includes a pressure vessel adapted to store water under pressure to drive the turbogenerator, a conduit to pass the water under pressure to the vessel, and a pump driven by the engines to draw in the water from a water source, and to deliver it through the conduit to the vessel.
