Abstract
To harness high velocity and fluctuating wind this new tilt swivel type vertical axis rotor as an original idea is investigated If the conventional anchoring of its top end with guy wires to the ground is simply done away with the rotor axle becomes a cantilever requires it to be more rigid strong and hence heavy Instead the lower end of the axle is modified with fulcrum and the rotor is kept upright with the counterweights Hence the whole balanced assembly of rotor and generator located on opposite ends can easily tilt about the turnnion in tune with the wind speed Counter weight to the rotor can include additional dead weights along with the generator and gear train By automatic tilting the rotor can work through and up to higher cut-out wind speed Change of wind direction causes the axle to swivel and align for the continued smooth rotor operation Hence both the tilt and swivel freedom of the vertical axle axis renders a complete new design of the wind turbine for high speed regions up to 50 m s Heralding of this new design and the realization of its prototype is the outcome of this experimental study presented herewith In the offshore installation if the generator and counter weight assembly is to operate under water then the buoyancy and fluid damping effects merit consideration In essence let the tons of steel wood and all that harness the high wind in such ease and grace appearing as if the daffodils toss and turn in the breezeThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
