A wind or water flow energy converter comprising a wind or water flow actuated rotor assembly. The rotor comprises a plurality of blades, wherein the blades are variable in length to provide a variable diameter rotor. The rotor diameter is controlled to fully extend the rotor at low flow velocity and to retract the rotor as flow velocities increases such that the loads delivered by or exerted upon said rotor do not exceed set limits.

L'invention concerne un système de conversion d'énergie éolienne ou hydraulique comprenant un ensemble rotor actionné par le vent ou par un écoulement d'eau. Le rotor comprend une multitude de pales présentant des longueurs variables afin d'obtenir un rotor à diamètre variable. Le diamètre du rotor est commandé de manière à déployer complètement le rotor à une vitesse d'écoulement faible et à rétracter le rotor au fur et à mesure que la vitesse d'écoulement augmente, de telle sorte que les charges livrées par le rotor ou exercées sur lui ne dépassent pas des limites fixées.
