  • Patent number: 7591635
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wind turbine. The wind turbine includes a support unit having a lower base block and a cylindrical protruding part. A rotary cylinder is rotatably supported by the protruding part. A rotating shaft extends from a center of the rotary cylinder to rotate along therewith. An upper bearing is installed on the protruding part to support the rotary cylinder. A lower bearing is installed on the lower base block to support the rotary cylinder. A plurality of vanes is installed along the outer circumference of the rotary cylinder at regular angular intervals, and is opened outwards relative to the rotary cylinder or closed to be in close contact with the outer circumference of the rotary cylinder, according to a position relative to a wind direction. An angle limiting means prevents each vane from being opened beyond a preset angle.

  • Patent number: 6853096
    Abstract: A rotation shaft is installed in the center of a wind turbine. Blades are secured to the rotation shaft to be circumferentially spaced apart one from another. Each blade has a lattice composed of transverse lattice elements and longitudinal lattice elements which are plaited to cooperatively define a plurality of spaces. In each space, a rotation adjustment piece is coupled to a first portion of a lattice element to be capable of rotating between a closing position where it closes a predetermined number of the spaces and an opening position where it opens a predetermined number of the spaces, so that the blades as a whole can be rotated irrespective of a wind direction. Electricity is generated using wind applied to the rotation shaft through rotation adjustment pieces.
