Abstract:
The invention describes a method for more efficient way of obtaining mechanical work and/or power generation from fluid flows with the oscillating motion of the blade and the counterweight in a direction that is perpendicular to the flow of fluid in conjunction with a smooth and periodic change of the angle of the blade to the flow of fluid over the sine wave which is characterized by being carried out by: rotating the surface of the blade to the direction of the fluid's flow and/or; changing the amplitude of the oscillation of the blade with respect to the fluid's flow rate and/or; changing the amplitude of the angle of the blade with respect to the fluid's flow rate; capturing mechanical work in the form of torque or tensile/compressive force to propel attached machinery or generate power from the arm of the counterweight. The invention further describes the apparatus to carry out this method.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus for more efficient obtaining of mechanical work and/or generating power from fluid flows comprising of a pendular arrangement of the blade and the counterweight pivoting on a pivot joint, characterized in that the pivot joint ( 3 ) of the blade ( 1 ) is coupled with the counterweight ( 5 ) via the arm ( 2 b ) of the counterweight, while the arm ( 2 b ) of the counterweight is coupled with at least two mechanisms belonging to the system of control mechanisms comprising:\n the mechanism (A) with the incorporated flywheel ( 10 ), the first articulated mounting ( 21 ), the first rod ( 20 ) and the first pivot joint ( 22 ) to capture torque or tensile/compressive force, wherein an electric generator or machinery is attached to the flywheel ( 10 ); the mechanism (B) comprising the second articulated mounting ( 24 ), the second rod ( 23 ), the second pivot joint ( 25 ) and the angle lever ( 4 ) for smooth and periodic variations in the alpha angle between 0\u00b0 and max.\u00b190\u00b0 of the blade throughout the oscillation to the direction of the flow of fluid; the mechanism (C) for smooth rotation of the surface of the blade to the direction of the fluid's flow containing a length-adjustable member that is placed in the second rod ( 23 ); the first mechanism (D 1 ) for changing the amplitude of the oscillation of the blade with respect to the fluid's flow rate with the first linear actuator ( 101 ) attached to the first articulated mounting ( 21 ), or the second mechanism (D 2 ) for changing the amplitude of the oscillation of the blade with respect to the fluid's flow rate with the second linear actuator ( 102 ) attached to the first pivot joint ( 22 ); the first mechanism (E 1 ) for changing the amplitude of the blade's angle with respect to the fluid's flow rate with the third linear actuator ( 103 ) attached to the second articulated mounting ( 24 ), or the second mechanism (E 2 ) for changing the amplitude of the blade's angle with respect to the fluid's flow rate with the fifth linear actuator ( 104 ) attached to the lever ( 4 ) of the angle of attack.
