Abstract:
1. An arrangement related to a body of water for creating from a prevailing wind force conditions for generating electric power, comprising a; individual but coordinated pontoon units that may float in the body of water, b; a plurality of, at least two, turbines (wind-driven propellers) oriented adjacent to each other and coordinated, e; a mooring system solidly anchored to a limited bottom area of said body of water, d; a generator unit for being driven by the rotating motion of said turbines for generating said electric power, e: a cable section connected on the one hand to said generator unit and on the other hand to a land-based distribution network distributing generated electric power, said pontoon units being structured of and associated with at least two vertical, or at least substantially vertical, posts which may float forming a frame portion and in any case an upright stabilizing the position of the frame portion in the body of water, with said two posts being adapted to be able to support a horizontally oriented beam structure which in itself is flexurally rigid, said beam structure being adapted and dimensioned such, that it can support said turbines, with each one of said two posts together with said upright being dimensioned and/or adapted such, that with their lower partial portions submerged in said body of water they permit said frame portion to be retained floating over the surface of the water, wherein said upright is displaced sideways in a plane, oriented by said frame portion and said two posts, and wherein said upright is adapted to cooperate with said frame portion and to be attached to and to be adherently made to cooperate with said mooring system, wherein between said upright and each one of the two posts, a first post and a second post, there extends a bar-shaped means dimensioned for taking up a compressive force and that between said upright and each one of the first and second posts there extends at least one first means dimensioned for taking up a tractive force and furthermore an additional second means dimensioned for taking up a tractive force.
