Wind Turbine
US Patent:
4632637, Dec 30, 1986
Filed:
Jun 7, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/618047
Inventors:
Ray F. Traudt - Englewood CO
Assignee:
Analytics, Inc. - Englewood CO
International Classification:
F03D 704
US Classification:
416 41
Abstract:
A high speed, downwind horizontal axis wind turbine includes three circumferentially spaced lightweight blades having inner support arms and radially outwardly disposed airfoil configured blade segments which are pivotally connected to the support arms, so as to fold straight downwind under high wind conditions or high rotating speeds. A spring biased control mechanism serves to rotate the airfoil segment of each blade about its longitudinal axis as the blade is folded downwind, so that a simultaneous folding and feathering action is obtained to prevent damage to the turbine in high wind conditions or under high rotating speeds.
