  • Patent number: 4408956
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method of generating power by movement produced by moving wind or fluid to thrust into circular rotation a rotatable framework from which such power can be extracted, being a Fluid Motion Vane Module which, operating in conjunction with an opposite companion same Fluid Motion Vane Module, or with multiples of said Fluid Motion Vane Module in opposing relationship will extract power for almost 300 degrees of the 360 degree rotation, the continuing changing aspects of said Vane Module being caused by its changing circular position and the fluid or wind thrust upon component vanes causing into-wind vane component feathering removing almost all into-wind frictional drag, continued changing in angular aspects in relation to wind direction to cause into-wind tacking, across-the-wind angular driving, down-wind direct drive, said tacking and across-the-wind angular driving being present both on up-wind and down-wind sides of said supporting rotatable framework.
