Description of Related Art

Nowadays the development of technology to provide tools that utilize wind energy, more specifically the multi-rotor wind turbine that are more effective, efficient and compact was still needed even though there have been many inventions expressed.

Technology inventions related to single rotor and multi-rotor wind turbines have also been disclosed as it is on the Patent: United States, No. : US 1697574, Date: Aug., 13, 1925, Title: Rotor Adapted to be Driven by Wind or Flowing Water, Inventor: Sigurd J.Savonius, as expressed that: The use of vertical axis rotor with two vanes shaped like a half of the width tube (cylinder) will collect more wind power so efficient and the form of turbine more compact; However the invention still has weaknesses that are characterized by a relatively slow rotor rotation. These problems relate to the vane which the surface on convex position must resist wind from the front, so most wind repulsion compelled towards the front side and wasted, whereas the rejection of wind happening along the half turn. The issue is a major weakness of the Savonius wind turbine.

Other invention as expressed in the Patent: United States, No. : US 11770123, Date: Jun., 28, 2007, Title: Three - Vaned Drag - Type Wind Turbine, Inventor: Art Whitworth and Larry B. Claflin, as expressed that: The use of three rotors will fix the weaknesses ot the invention of Savonius above, marked with the rotors spinning faster; However this invention also still has a weakness, because the refusal of the wind on the rotor which the surface on convex position still accur at more or less a third round, because the result of the shielded by the existing rotor in front of it.

Other invention as expressed in the Patent: United States, No. : US 1766765, Date: Des., 16, 1928, Title: Wind Turbine, Inventor: Sigurd J.Savonius, as expressed that: The use of two scoop that are arranged like the form of the letter "S", and using some sort of tunnel that connects the two grooves of the scoop will overcome the weakness in the previous invention; Where a concave surface of the scoop will receive the wind, and then will forward the wind flow in the direction of the scoop next to it for to give the thrust power to assist the refusal wind on the scoop. However, this invention also still have a deficiency characterized by the rotor rotation which are not so fast, because the scoop that the position on the concave surface after turning over a quarter of round is difficult to turn the direction of the wind flow to the scoop next to it. In addition, the wind that is directed to the scoop next of it, its energies have also been declining.

Other invention as expressed in the Patent: United States, No. : US 5405246A, Date: Sep., 30, 1993, Title: Vertical-axis Wind Turbine With A Twisted Blade Configuration,

Inventor: Steven B. Goldberg, as expressed that: The use of blade has a twisted shape for Savonius wind turbine aims to harness the wind repulsion to increase the rotor rotation. However, the invention is also not much fix the weakness, although better, that is characterized by the rotor spin faster. It is caused by the blade on convex surface when in front will result the repulsion wind that lead and useful for the blade behind it. Although the blade that the position in front is also blocking some of the blade behind it, thus reducing the wind which should be accepted.

Other invention as expressed in the Patent: United States, No.: US 14007189, Date: Mar., 26, 2012, Title: Savonius Wind Turbine, Inventor: Gary Murphy, as expressed that: The use of double vanes and equipped with the three wind deflectors, used to direct the wind flow to the vanes that position on the concave surface and close the convex surface; Furthermore can increase energy of the rotors rotation and decrease the accurrence of the wind rejection, that is characterized by the rotors are spinning faster. However, this invention also has the disadvantage, that is the embodiment of the deflector is much larger than the rotor itself so that it is less efficient.

Other invention as expressed in the Patent: United States, No. : US 12703191, Date: Feb., 09, 2010, Title: Savonius Rotor Wind Power Generator System and Methode, Inventor: Roy D. Gaul, Claude P. Brancart and Vincent L. Gaul, as expressed that: Savonius turbines can also generate considerable power but still efficient and easy handling, which in a way putting together of two or more rotors so can use one axis (co-axial), as well as direction of the position of the vane on two rotors made mutually perpendicular, in order to spin properly. However, this invention also still has a weakness, because there is no effort to reduce the result brought about by the refusal of the wind.

However the inventions above still have weaknesses and limitations, among others are: Haven't been able to resolve the problem which is characterized by a relatively slorotor rotation as a result of the refusal of the wind, as well as difficulties on some construction. Furthermore this submitted invention is intended to solve the problems presented above by: Using the vertical-axis rotor that mutual-insert characterized by mutually inserts arranged vane and have opposite spin directions, functioning exploit wind denied to strengthen rotary rotors next to it, otherwise the dressing rotor next to him doing the same thing; which happens the cooperation between rotors so that a little wind escapes are not exploited, that is marked with the rotor rotation toned; But when the vanes positioned not mutually inserts then the cooperation no longer exits, marked by a slower rotor rotation.

While this invention also provides a product of multi-vertical axis-rotor turbine that effective, efficient and compact, which can be applied to the wind flows and more specifically applied to the water currents.

Summary Of The Invention

The main purpose of this invention is to overcome existing problems before, in particular mutual- insert rotor turbine that are able to harness the repulsion wind that generated by the vane on the position of surface convex, so that it can add to the power rounds of the rotors; Which a mutual-insert rotor turbine according to this invention is composed of: The Vertical Rotor Unit; The Spiral Bevel Gear Unit; The Terminating Axis Unit; Where The Vertical Rotor Unit is characterized by the rotors whose vanes (half cylinder) arranged mutual inserts and rotating in apposite directions, as well as functioning to collect the energy of the wind flow or water current, and cooperation between rotors; The Spiral Bevel Gear Unit is characterized by the gear arrangement had its position opposite directions, as well as functioning to coordinate the rotor rotation identifies the direction of rotation, and forward rotation to the terminating axis; The Terminating Axis Unit is characterized by one horizontal axis with one gear-chain, and functioning to coordinate the rotation of the rotors via the spiral bevel gear, hold power rotary and forward these to the other units that need it; Furthermore a mutual-insert rotor turbine has two interrelated working system, which described as follows:

a. The working system of the mutual-insert rotor: Each vane on the position of the surface convex will resist turning the wind flow or water current towards the front side, where disapproval will push the back side of the vane in the front side (belongs to the rotor beside it); Furthermore the vane is pushed back with the results of similar repulsion by a vane on the back side (belongs to the rotor beside it), and vice versa, so that corroborate the rotors rotation;

b. The working system of the mutual-insert rotor turbine: Each rotor will spin the opposite direction to each other, which produces a power play in the opposite direction, furthermore each vertical axis continues rotation to the spiral bevel gear, where the direction of rotation can be the same, so easily collected by the terminating axis; Furthermore through the gear-chain can forward the rounds to other units that need;

This invention also has a flagship that is very suitable in touch with multi-rotor current turbines, where by means of placing the terminating axis on the top of the rotors, and the vane is made of a material that is hard and strong.

Detailed Description of The Preferred Embodiments

This invention aims to provide a product in the form of a mutual-insert rotor turbine that is able to harness the repulsion wind generated by the vane which the position on the convex surface, so add the rotary power of the rotor become more effective; And at the same time provides a product multi-rotor turbine that effective, efficient and compact, where this turbine according to this invention consist of: The Vertical Rotor Unit; The Spiral Bevel Gear Unit; The Terminating Axis Unit; where is The Vertical Rotor Unit is characterized by the rotors whose vanes (half cylinder) arranged mutual inserts and rotating in apposite directions, as well as functioning to collect the energy of the wind flow or water current, and cooperation between rotors; The Spiral Bevel Gear Unit is characterized by the gear arrangement had its position opposite directions, as well as functioning to coordinate the rotor rotation, identifies the direction of rotation, and forward rotation to the terminating axis; The Terminating Axis Unit is characterized by one horizontal axis with one gear-chain, and functioning to coordinate the rotation of the rotors via the spiral bevel gear, hold power rotary and forward these to the other units that need it. Furthermore this invention will be explained in detail in reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to Figure 1, which shows complete detail the drawings of mutual-insert rotor turbine that the embodiment of its system is outlined as follows:

a. Each rotor 1,3 has three vanes 3 that half cylinder-shaped, composed a circular which the direction of the curvature vane 3 follow or opposite the clockwise direction, so can opposite the direction against the curvature of the vane 3 next to it; Where the direction of curvature to determine the direction of the rotor 1,3 rotary, Fig. 1-A.

b. Some of the rotors 1,3 (minimal two rotors) each has a vertical axis 1 that composed of straight line, and each vane 3 must be inserts into the vane 3 gap of the rotor 1,3 next to it, Fig. 1-B.

c. Each rotor 1,3 has a spiral bevel gear 5 at the lover end of the vertical axis 1 as a connecting with the terminating axis 6, and each gear 5 has the position of mutually opposite directions with the gear 5 next to it, Fig. 1-C.

d. Terminating axis 6 has connection to the entire vertical axis 1 through each spiral bevel gear 5, besides it is also equipped with gear-chain 7 to connect other tools that need the rotary power.

Referring to Figure 2, according to this invention describes the working system of the mutual-insert rotor (illustrated with two rotors), which the outline depends on two main factors, i.e.; the origin of the wind flow (water current) direction and a position of the concave (convex) of the vane 3, where on the concave position receives the wind flow to result in a strong rotary power, conversely a convex position will resist the wind flow, so take the resulting power of the concave position. On the Pattern 1, because the vanes 3 have an arrangement of the mutual -insert, then the wind or current from the results of repulsion will lead to the front side, so push from behind on the vane 3 which has a similar position (courtesy of the rotor next to it), furthermore strengthen the rotor spin of the rotor next to it. Thus cooperation occurs between the rotor, so that the wind or current that passes and may not be exploited is relatively low, characterized by a faster rotary of the rotors.

Conversely when the vane 3 has a position not mutual-insert then the rotor spin will be slower. On the Pattern 2, i.e. when the wind or current direction change (from the back), the working system in principle remains the same, because the arrangement and direction of the rotor spin have the same form, as shown in the Figure 1-A.

Referring to Figure 1 and 2 according to this invention describes the working system of the mutual-insert rotor turbine as follows: The wind flow or water current will result in each rotor 1,3 mutually spin on the opposite directions, so as to produce a power rotation that is also opposite direction; Furthermore the vertical axis 1 proceed this rotation to the spiral bevel gear 5 that will equalize the rotation direction, thus the rotation can be collected and proceeded by the terminating axis 6, then through the gear-chain 7 this rotation power can be applied to the tools that need it.

From the description above it is clear that result of this invention can be beneficial for provisioning of the tool to capture wind or current power, more specifically a multi-rotor turbine because it is practical and efficient, even with the compact forms, particularly suitable for application as a multi-rotor current turbine.
