Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods are directed to mounting an auxiliary component to a tower based at least in part on a force distribution in which a normal force is greater than a shear force exerted by the auxiliary component on a shell of the tower such that the auxiliary component may be held in place relative to the tower without penetrating the shell of the tower. Thus, as compared to mounting techniques requiring penetration of the shell of the tower, this force distribution along the shell of the tower may facilitate mounting the auxiliary component to the tower with little to no impact on cost and/or structural requirements of the tower. Further, or instead, as compared to other mounting techniques, mounting the auxiliary component based at least in part on this force distribution may reduce or eliminate the need for specialized tools, thus facilitating in-field installation of the auxiliary component.

Claim (Index 22):
The method of  claim 20 , wherein attaching the second coupling of the auxiliary component to the inner surface of the shell includes attaching the second coupling in an orientation in which the normal component of the second force is greater than a shear component of the second force exerted by the auxiliary component on the shell via the second coupling.
