Magnus type wind power generator
First Claim
1. A Magnus type power generator comprising:
- a horizontal rotary shaft having a rotary body that transmits a rotation torque to a power generating mechanism, wherein said rotary body comprises multiple driving motors;
multiple rotary columns disposed radially from an outer periphery of said rotary body, connected at their proximal end to said multiple driving motors, and at their distal end to end caps, said end caps having a disk shape of a diameter larger than a diameter of said rotary columns;
wherein said rotary columns further comprise two crossing spiral ribs wound about said columns in a clock and counter clockwise direction respectively;
multiple air flow planes installed upon, and located behind an outer peripheral surface of said rotary columns;
wherein;
an air flow reaches said multiple columns before said air flow planes,said air flow planes are parallel to said multiple columns and comprise two adjoining plates with a 135°
angle there between,said air flow planes are stationary relative to said multiple columns, andsaid end caps direct said air flow towards said horizontal shaft.

Abstract
A Magnus type wind power generator (A) comprising a horizontal rotary shaft (3) for transmitting torque to a power generating mechanism (2), rotary columns (5), flow directing plane (7) installed at main shaft (3), driving motors (15) for rotatively driving the respective rotary columns (5) around the axes thereof, which the relative action between rotation of each rotary column (5) and wind produces Magnus lift, which rotates the horizontal rotary shaft (3) so as to drive the power generating mechanism (2). Firstly, air flow directing plane (7), installed to direct flow to the low pressure area so as to cause another delay and eventually increase the Magnus lift. Secondly, the crossed spiral on the surface of the cylinder (6) provided to generate more air flow in three directions upon the rotary cylinder (5) increases the Magnus force.
