Windmills.
Technical field to which the invention relates.
Windmills used to convert wind energy into mechanical energy.
The level of technology
We know a lot of wind turbines that use wind turbines of various types and designs. The same sign for all wind power plants is that they all have rotating wind turbine type, which rotates from the effects of wind and transfers torque to the executive mechanism, generators, pumps, etc.

Inventive
Proposed wind power plant (Fig. 1), in which the role of wind energy converter performs the mast with a fixed on her interior sail 2. Mast pivotally mounted on a foundation of ball bearings 3 or Cardan joint (Fig. 2). Here the fulcrum is attached to the mast load counterweight 4 Hold the mast in an upright position. In windy conditions as a result of uneven air velocity mast swaying like trees. These fluctuations mast transmitting piston cylinders 5, located on a circle around the mast just below or above the fulcrum. The latter, in turn, make good work.

The principle of wind energy plant
The principle of wind energy installations:
Gusts of wind acting on the mast 1 (Fig. 1) with a sail 2 deviated from its vertical axis at an angle. Return to the original position by means of a counterweight
4. As a result of swinging pistons 2 (Fig. 3) cylinders performing a reciprocating translational motion of the hydraulic fluid is pumped from the reservoir 8 through the hydraulic motor 6, which directly performs useful work, such as rotating the electric generator 7. In order for hydraulic fluid held only in one direction, each cylinder of the suction and discharge valves equipped sunk 3.
As a result of the fact that the distance between the point of application of wind power and hinge L
significantly exceeds the distance between the hinge and the point of attachment rod cylinders l, fluid pressure in the hydraulic cylinders and, correspondingly, in the hydraulic system can reach tens of atmospheres. The number of masts in a wind power installation can be from one to many hundreds of pieces (Fig. 4), depending on the required capacity.

Using the invention
The proposed wind power can be used to convert wind energy into mechanical energy and electricity, as well as a pumping station for pumping water. This installation thanks to its construction is better able to withstand storm winds (when bending the mast is automatically reduced sail masts). For protection from the elements you can use surround inflatable sail (like a balloon), wind resistance which can be changed by changing the internal pressure. And you can also use a sail with a variable area by changing the geometry or to make a sail moving along the mast height. As an alternative to the counterweight to return to the mast in a vertical position can apply compression springs or tension.

Kinematic scheme of this type of power can be used with great success in the wave power.The scheme of such a station is given below.

Wave power.
Technical field to which the invention relates.
Wave power is used to convert kinetic energy of coastal waves into mechanical energy.
The level of technology
Above windmills doll type can be a great success
use in coastal areas. In this case, the mast installed on the seabed and ocean waves, the raid on the sail, rocking him, activating the piston pumps.

The principle of station
The masts are installed in coastal areas at depths of 10-20 meters under the sea with an anchor support. To keep the mast in a vertical position instead of the cargo-counterweight
using a float in the form of large diameter pipes. Archimedes forces maintain the sail in the upper layer of water, where the raging waves. The incoming waves rocked the mast from side to side and using pumps hydraulic fluid is pumped through hydraulic standing on the shore.Electric generators are there.

Sema devices mast is shown in Figure 5.
Using the invention
The proposed wave station has a good advantage over other schemes of the wave power.
This ease of production, low cost, small amount of materials used for construction.
And most importantly - can be obtained more power measured in tens of kilowatts and reach tens of megawatts.
The project is a fast-and deserves serious attention.
