Abstract:
1. A wind turbine generator comprising: a front wind rotor; and a rear wind rotor arranged coaxially with said front wind rotor, one of said front wind rotor and said rear wind rotor being connected to a rotatable armature rotor of a generator and the other of said front wind rotor and said rear wind rotor being connected to a rotatable field rotor of the generator, a direction in which a blade of said front wind rotor is twisted being axially opposite to a direction in which a blade of said rear wind rotor is twisted; wherein a rotation radius of said rear wind rotor is smaller than a rotation radius of said front wind rotor, but said rotation radius of said rear wind rotor is longer than a half of said rotation radius of said front wind rotor; wherein said front wind rotor includes a blade having, in an area outward of an intermediate point of said rotation radius of said front wind rotor, a blade element comprised of an aerofoil being cambered in a cross-section along a rotational direction thereof so as to ensure an expected rotational torque, said blade element being radially twisted so as to ensure an angle of attack smaller by a predetermined stable margin angle than an angle of attack providing a maximum lift-drag ratio regardless of a radial position; wherein said blade of said front wind rotor is, in an area inward of said intermediate point of said rotation radius of said front wind rotor, radially twisted so as to ensure an angle of attack at which a drag acting on said blade element is small, and a total force of the drag and a lift force is axially directed, regardless of a radial position of said front wind rotor, to ensure a no-load condition; wherein said rear wind rotor includes a blade having a blade element comprised of an aerofoil cambered in a cross-section along a rotational direction thereof so as to ensure an expected rotational torque; wherein said rear wind rotor is radially twisted in an area corresponding to said area outward of said intermediate point of said rotation radius of said front wind rotor, so as to ensure an angle of attack smaller by a predetermined stable margin angle than an angle of attack providing a maximum lift-drag ratio to a swirling flow discharged from said front wind rotor; and wherein said rear wind rotor is radially twisted in an area corresponding to said area inward of said intermediate point of said rotation radius of said front wind rotor, so as to ensure an angle of attack smaller by a predetermined stable margin angle than an angle of attack providing a maximum lift-drag ratio against axial flow having no swirling components.
