Patent ID: 7129596

Claim:
A hovering wind turbine station, comprising: a wind turbine with a plurality of blades, a generator driven by said turbine for producing of an electrical energy, a means for holding said blades on a surface of an imaginary horizontal circular cylinder and rotating them about a horizontal axis of said cylinder in a closed cylindrical path, a means for controlling a pitch angle of said blades by a crankshaft means as a function of the rotational angle to provide said blades with the dual capability of gathering wind energy and generating airlift for the station, where said pitch angle and a position of the blades gather wind energy in the upwind and downwind sectors of the cylindrical path and generate lift in the upper and lower sectors of the cylindrical path, a lighter-than-air-balloon to support said station uplifted in the air, a means for anchoring said station to a land site, a means for transferring the generated electrical energy to the land site.
