摘要： Multiple horizontal axis type rotors are coaxially attached along the upper section of an elongate torque transmitting tower/driveshaft. The tower/driveshaft projects upward from a cantilevered bearing means, and is bent downwind, until the rotors become sufficiently aligned with the wind to rotate the entire tower/driveshaft. Power is drawn from the shaft at the base. Surface mount, subsurface mount, and marine installations, including a sailboat, are disclosed. Blade-to-blade lashing, and vertical axis rotor blades may also be included. Vertical and horizontal axis type rotor blades may be interconnected along the length of the tower/driveshaft to form a structural lattice, and the central shaft may even be eliminated. Aerodynamic lifting bodies or tails, buoyant lifting bodies, buoyant rotor blades, and methods of influencing the tilt of the rotors, can help elevate the structure. This wind turbine can have as few as one single moving part.

摘要： In the case of wind turbines 10, deviations from the optimum operating state result in output losses. This applies, in particular, to angular deviations 62 in the alignment of the nacelle 14, and therefore of the rotor axis 28, relative to the wind direction 60. The invention relates to a wind turbine 10, and to a method for operating such a wind turbine, which wind turbine and method enable the nacelle 14 to be corrected, in respect of the wind direction, both on the basis of wind power and by motor.
