Patent ID: 8618689

Claim:
An electric energy generating wind power turbine including a supporting structure, a nacelle, and a blade assembly configured to rotate with respect to the nacelle, said wind power turbine comprising: a first electric machine including: a first stator, and a first rotor fitted to the first stator, said first rotor configured to rotate about a first axis; a second electric machine including: a second stator substantially coaxial with the first stator, and a second rotor fitted to the second stator, said second rotor configured to rotate about a second axis; and a transmission assembly connecting the first rotor to the second rotor, said transmission assembly including at least one elastic joint and a transmission shaft, said at least one elastic joint being interposed between the transmission shaft and at least one of the first rotor and the second rotor, and said transmission assembly being deformable to permit relative movement between the first electric machine and the second electric machine.
