  • Fluid Turbine Featuring Improved Blade Mounting Structure
    Publication number: 20120134819
    Abstract: A fluid turbine comprising a rotor, having an axis of rotation, comprising at least two rotor blades disposed at a radius from the axis of rotation, each rotor blade having a pitch axis and a variable pitch angle. The fluid turbine comprises a mechanism comprising an actuation rod secured to an internal portion of each rotor blade, operable to control the pitch angle of at least one rotor blade about its pitch axis and to vary the pitch angle of the rotor blade between various pitch angles as the blade moves circumferentially about the axis of rotation of the rotor.
    Type: Application
