  • Patent number: 9291147
    Abstract: An energy generating system includes a first pair of sails, configured for opposing reciprocal swinging motion in response to a flow of fluid therepast, and a first generator assembly, mechanically coupled to the first pair of sails, configured to generate electrical energy from the opposing reciprocal swinging motion of the first pair of sails.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2016
    Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANY

  • Patent number: 8884457
    Abstract: An energy generating system includes a first pair of elongate arms, having proximal and distal ends, configured for substantially symmetrically opposing reciprocal swinging motion in a substantially horizontal plane. A first pair of substantially vertical sails are each attached at the distal end of one of the elongate arms, the sails being configured to drive opposing reciprocal swinging motion of the arms in response to a flow of fluid therepast. A first generator assembly is attached to the proximal ends of the first pair of arms, and is configured to generate electrical energy from the substantially symmetrical opposing reciprocal swinging motion of the arms.
