る。The blades 6 are formed by using a thin sheet-shaped material such as aluminum or iron so that they can be alternately folded in a fan shape as shown in FIG. It is generally known from fluid dynamics knowledge that the wind speed increases as the height from the ground rises. Particularly, qualitatively, the wind speed received at a certain height portion of the blade 4 is v. The wind speed received at the upper part by a height h higher than this is v
If the wind speed v at the height h is
v = v. Since it is represented by h 1/3 (the wind speed received by the blade 6 becomes higher as it goes upward), the blade 6 is formed so that the upper portion has a larger area than the lower portion.

By this, the impeller 4 revolves around the central axis 2, and as a result, the rotating plate 7 is rotated to operate the generator 8. In this embodiment, the electric power generated by the generator 8 is used as a driving means of an appropriate device for cleaning the lake where the hull 1 floats.

It is supposed to be adjusted. Therefore, the wind speed detecting means 62 is, as shown in FIG.
3 is connected to the input, and the output of the control unit 63 is connected to the driving means 9, and the wind speed detecting means 62 is connected.
Outputs a detection signal (for example, voltage) according to the wind speed,
The drive means 9 is controlled by a control signal output from the control unit 63 which receives the detection signal. The blade 6 rotates about the support 61, but as shown in FIG. 2, the blade 6 is longer on the longitudinal dimension side on the support 61 than on the short side. Since much wind is received, the longitudinal dimension side is always located on the lee side. The shape of the blade is not particularly limited to that of this embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, each side surface on both ends 60A side has a streamlined blade 6A, and FIG. The blade 6B having a rhombus shape shown in FIG. 6 or the rectangular blade 6C shown in FIG. 9 may be used.

That is, when the wind speed detecting means 62 detects, for example, a wind of less than 13 m / sec, the blades 6 are fully opened, and at wind speeds of 13 m to 24 m / sec, a predetermined amount of the blades 6 are provided so as to have an area corresponding to the wind speed.

As shown in 0, the structure is curved in one direction, and one side is formed longer than the other side with the support 61 as the center. Due to the difference in wind pressure described above, the lateral direction is always constant. As for the guide member 65 that is integral with the blade 6 pointing upwind,
The short side always points upwind.

ーを最大限有効に取込むことができる。As described above, according to the present invention, even if the wind direction changes, the front surface of the base body can always be kept constant, for example, the windward direction by the steering means, and each impeller can be At the time of revolving operation, the attitude of the blades with respect to the wind at the windward position is always constant,
As a result, for each impeller in the revolution motion, the angle of the blade with respect to the wind direction changes at each revolution position, but the angle of the blade with respect to the wind direction does not change for any impeller at the same revolution position. So
No matter how the direction of the wind changes, it is possible to apply a stable rotating force to the rotating plate at all times, in other words, the wind energy can be taken in as effectively as possible.
