Abstract: An adjusting device for adjusting the rotation angle position of the rotor of a wind energy system should be improved by the invention, whereby a complicated processing of the brake disc previously used for engagement of the drive is no longer necessary, and whereby said brake disc can be flexibly arranged in an area with sufficient construction space. For this purpose, the adjusting device has at least one force transducer wheel and/or a force transducing disc which is mounted or can be mounted on a shaft (1) of the drive train which is switched downstream from the rotor, which is structured for engagement of a force transmitting means, and is designed as an independent component. The device also has a drive means for producing a drive force, and at least one force transmission means for transmitting the drive force to the force transducer wheel and/or the force transducing disc.

Abstract: A device converting the kinetic energy belonging to the moving stream of fluid such as the wind, river stream and gulf stream is disclosed. Said device is comprised of two or more blades revolving about the central axis, which blades are mechanically linked to said central axis wherein each of said blades completes a half rotation about its own axis when it completes a complete revolution about said central axis. Each of blades further includes a pair of flaps rotatably disposed on each edge of said blade, which flaps are mechanically linked to the rotating and revolving motion of the blade wherein said flaps are automatically deflected to provide a suitable camber to the blades to generate a lift force on the blade. In said arrangement, the blade and flaps line up automatically with the fluid stream direction when it occupies the minimum drag position in revolving about said central axis, while the blade takes up automatically a position perpendicular to the wind direction when it occupies the maximum drag position which is the diametrically opposite position to said minimum drag position wherein a hyprothetical line connecting said two positions are generally perpendicular to the fluid stream direction.

Abstract: An improvement for a wave energy converter comprises a substantially rigid skirt adapted to be suspended from a wave energy converter below the surface of the water. The skirt includes an elongate substantially cylindrical structure extending vertically so as to form a flow path for water particles over a surface of the structure. The cylindrical structure has a series of rings of substantially equal diameter arranged concentrically at spaced vertical intervals. The curved surfaces formed by the circular cross-section of the rings, form an undulating flow path for water particles travelling in a vertical direction. In this way the vertical component of the wave energy extracted from the wave's circular water particle motion can be maximized.
