CA 2607103

According to some embodiments, systems and methods for tethered wind turbines may be provided. In some embodiments, a system may comprise an airborne body extending horizontally along an axis between a first point and a second point, wherein the body is at least partially filled with a gas. The system may further comprise, for example, two or more vanes coupled to the body such that the vanes, when acted upon by a wind force perpendicular to the axis are operable to cause the body to rotate about the axis to generate a Magnus effect lifting force. According to some embodiments, the system may comprise one or more tethers coupled to anchor the body to a third point.

Selon certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés pour des éoliennes captives. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un système peut comprendre un corps aéroporté qui s'étend horizontalement le long d'un axe entre un premier point et un deuxième point, ledit corps étant au moins partiellement rempli par un gaz. Ce système peut comprendre également, par exemple, au moins deux aubes raccordées au corps de façon que, lorsque la force d'un vent perpendiculaire à l'axe est exercée sur ces dernières, lesdites aubes entraînent la rotation du corps autour de l'axe afin que soit générée une force de levage par effet Magnus. Selon certains modes de réalisation, ledit système peut comprendre une ou plusieurs attaches raccordées au corps afin que ce dernier soit fixé à un troisième point.
