Abstract:
1. A supporting system for suspended installations, said installations being wind turbines, comprising: (a) at least one carrying cable stretched over the ground, (b) said wind turbine installation, including a wind turbine and a support for wind turbine, suspended from said cable; (c) a means coupling said support and said wind turbine, providing rotation of said wind turbine about said support depending on change in direction of the winds captured by said turbine; (d) said support for wind turbine having a means for hanging said support from said cable; (e) the first set of guy ropes placed at angle with each other, which top ends are attached to said cable or at a top end of said support for wind turbine, which bottom ends are attached to footing structures providing anchoring of said guy ropes; (f) the second set of guy ropes placed at angle with each other, which top ends are attached at the bottom end of said wind turbine installation, and which bottom ends are attached to footing structures providing anchoring of said guy ropes; (g) said first and said second sets of guy ropes that are pre-tensioned; (h) said cable capable to generate upward vertical reaction force of magnitude great enough for carrying downward vertical loads applied to said wind turbine installation.
