Abstract: A wind power rotor has a first and second rotor device. The first rotor device rotates about a first axis of rotation and has at least two rotor blades moving on a peripheral track about the first axis of rotation. The rotor blades are such that they describe a virtual first shell surface of a virtual first rotating body upon rotation about the first axis of rotation. The second rotor device rotates about a second axis of rotation and has a second rotating body with a closed second shell surface. The second rotating body is arranged at least partially inside of the virtual first rotating body. The first rotor device can be driven by wind in a first direction of rotation and the second rotor device has a drive device, and can be driven in a second direction of rotation which is opposite that of the first direction of rotation.

Abstract: An energy harvester capable of providing motion from fluid flow, which comprises at least one Magnus cylinder driven to rotate by the movement of the fluid past a fin device. This causes the Magnus cylinder to rotate, and further interactions between the rotating Magnus cylinder and the moving fluid generate a Magnus lifting force. A channel or system may be also provided to direct the fluid flow to the Magnus cylinder. This rotating Magnus cylinder configuration is integrated into a mechanical device that is designed to transfer the Magnus lifting forces into a rotary mechanical motion to drive an electric generator. The device can be utilized in either air or hydraulic environments. A modification of the energy harvester can also be configured to utilize the generated electricity to produce hydrogen for use in fuel cells, or for combustion.

Abstract: A Magnus-type wind power generator in which rotary columns rotate about the axes of the rotary columns, whereby a horizontal rotary shaft is rotated by Magnus lift that occurs due to interaction of wind power with the rotation of the rotary columns, and a power generating mechanism is driven. An external peripheral surface of the rotary columns has a structure in which spiral ribs formed in a convex shape are provided, and a flow component (V) of air at least parallel to the axes of the rotary columns is generated on the external peripheral surfaces of the rotary columns by the spiral ribs. The spiral ribs are formed so that a lead angle (θ) thereof is smaller at a distal end of the rotary columns than at a proximal end of the rotary columns near the horizontal rotary shaft.
