Abstract

The offshore windmill for generation of electricity has a vertical axis rotor (3) with vertical blades (4) turned by the wind. The rotor, a hub turbine (7) and a generator (8) are mounted on top of a floating vertical tower (1). There is an anchor connection (6) and a ballast weight (2) at the bottom of the tower. A valve (9) at the bottom may be opened to allow flooding to a given mark (10) and sinking to protect the windmill during a gale. There is an air compressor (12) above the flooding mark and the space (11) above the flooding mark is filled with compressed air to protect the generator.
