    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a plurality of airborne bodies may each extend horizontally along an axis between a first point and a second point. Each body may be, for example, at least partially filled with a gas and two or more vanes may be provided airborne with each body such that the vanes, when acted upon by a wind force perpendicular to the axis, are operable to cause rotation about the axis. Moreover, one or more electrical generators may be airborne with each body to convert rotational energy produced by the rotation about the axis into electrical energy.

According to some embodiments, a surface airborne with the body may direct at least some of the wind force into an area defined by a vane and/or orient the airborne body in a position substantially normal to the wind force.

    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.
