  • Patent number: 8678763
    Abstract: The invention provides a ring, rotatable duct, shroud, fuselage or cylindrical external wall fabricated so as to have desirable strength even if its diameter exceeds about 2.7 meters by using arbitrary metallic and non-metallic materials. Such ring and others may be readily fabricated by laminating a thin sheet band made of metal, ceramics, cermet, fiber or synthetic resin of 0.01 mm to 5 mm thick or a thin sheet band made of rubber or silicon of 0.1 mm to 50 mm thick by winding around a giant spinning wheel by at least two rounds or more so as to form a longitudinal plate portion of 2 mm or more in radial thickness when the band is made of metal, ceramics, cermet, fiber or synthetic resin and to form such portion of 4 mm or more thick when the band is made of metal, ceramics, cermet, fiber, synthetic resin, rubber or silicon.

  • Patent number: 7503747
    Abstract: In a rotatable duct type shrouded rotating wing, permanent magnets are arranged in the outer periphery of a rotatable duct, rotor blades are connected to the inner periphery of the rotatable duct, the rotor blades having a rotatable support portion at about every 2.5 m to prevent deflection or distortion. The shroud and the rotatable duct are constantly in vertical contact with each other, and an appropriate horizontal spacing is provided between the inner periphery of the shroud and the outer periphery of the rotatable duct to permit expansion and contraction of the rotatable duct and the rotor blades. Accordingly, even if the shrouded rotating wing is of a large radius, is used in a horizontal orientation and undergoes a rapid change of direction mounted to a turntable, it always rotates stably to generate lift and thrust.

  • Publication number: 20070221779
    Abstract: To achieve mass transportation, freer flights, and safer services in an energy-saving manner by allowing the blowout direction of a shroud included rotor having the drive principle of linear motors that can freely change airflow to be changed freely to produce a device capable of freely changing both airflow and wind direction and by attaching the produced device that can freely change airflow and wind direction to the airframe of an aircraft to control the airflow and wind direction of the device.
