Calculation and Designing of Low-speed Horizontal-axis Wind-wheel With Blades of Sail Type
The expediency of alternative energy sources implementation in Ukrainian industry and agriculture is substantiated. Much attention is focused on the possibilities of the wind turbines using on the territory of our country. Main problems of the modern wind-electric turbines exploitation are considered. The construction of the low-speed (multiblade) horizontal-axis wind-wheel with sail-blades is proposed and the parameters of its basic elements (blades, wind- wheel hub, mechanism of blades attachment, etc.). are calculated.
