    摘要: A generator suspension arrangement for suspending a generator unit of a wind turbine is shown, which generator suspension arrangement includes a suspension assembly arranged on a bedframe of the wind turbine, which suspension assembly includes a plurality of suspension points configured to transfer the weight of the generator unit to the suspension assembly, and wherein the suspension points lie at a distance outward from the body of the generator unit. Furthermore, a wind turbine includes a generator unit and such a generator suspension arrangement arranged to suspend the generator unit above a bedframe of the wind turbine. Furthermore, a method of reducing vibrations of a generator unit of a wind turbine is shown.

    摘要: The present invented device is mounted on tower at seashore, desert or mountaintops. The device is mounted on the rotating stand, which is on the tower. As the air will be released into a long tunnel (tail), the device will automatically arrange in wind facing direction and the running air will continuously enter into the device. The entered inner part of the device has air collection chambers, so when the wind will get concentrated it will create air pressure. The pressured air will be released into a tunnel, where the turbine is mounted into the tail part to generate energy. And pressurized air will be released from the tail. The multiple device will be placed on high tower as high as a general windmill is mounted.

    摘要: An Airborne Wind Turbine (“AWT”) may be used to facilitate conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy. An AWT may include an aerial vehicle that flies in a path to convert kinetic wind energy to electrical energy. The aerial vehicle may be tethered to a ground station with a tether that terminates at a tether termination mount. In one aspect, the tether has a core and at least one electrical conductor. The tether core may be terminated at a first location in a tether termination mount along an axis of the termination mount, and the at least one electrical conductor may be terminated at a second location in the tether termination mount along the same axis that the core is terminated. This termination configuration may focus tensile stress on the tether to the tether core, and minimize such stress on the at least one electrical conductor during aerial vehicle flight.

    摘要: An illuminated aerial aircraft display is disclosed. The display may be towed by an airplane with a propeller with a front facing with a plurality of illuminated indicia that includes letters and numbers and illuminated computer generated or non-computer generated moving indicia or pictorial images disposed on the front facing and a wind milling generator installed on a lead pole of the illuminated aerial aircraft display and a plurality of LED lights that illuminate the illuminated indicia. The display has illuminated indicia that may utilize a wide variety of colors and aesthetically pleasing styles and works in combination with the propeller that spins and produces electricity utilized by the LED lights once the illuminated aerial aircraft display is picked up and towed by the aircraft. One or more batteries may also be utilized to power the LED lights.
