Abstract

Up to now, conventional wind power rotors, which have a horizontal shaft and are mounted on high self-supporting poles, serve to utilize wind energy. These installations are confined to designated installation sites and, due to economical reasons, have a certain minimum size that often causes them to considerably detract from the natural scenery. The inventive method provides that the movement which is induced by changes in mechanical load, in at least one direction of displaceably mounted or elastically moving structures or parts of structures is converted into electric energy by means of mechanical/electrical energy converters situated between moving and stationary parts of structures or at selected points of elastic motion of the structures or parts of structures. This results in wind ene eing utilized over a large area.
