ABSTRACT:
The self-governing energy panel is to be used as one of a group of panels designed to collect wind for and govern the speed of the windpowered traveling shaft machine. This machine is designed to convert windpower into other forms of energy (e.g. electricity or direct-drive) by connection to a generator or other device. The panel is hung on bearings that are on the support beams that protrude out from the horizontal shaft of the windpowered traveling shaft machine. The panel has the majority of its length below the bearings; however, there are several places the panel may be attached to the beams thus changing how much of the panel is above or below the bearings. The panel will hang vertically to the ground in calm periods but with increasing wind speed the panel can change to a completely horizontal position by rotating on the bearings. Weights of various sizes may be added to the bottom of the panel, which along with the bearing position, will control at what wind speed the panel wall reach different angled positions. An enclosure is required around the approximate bottom one-third of the machine. The force of the wind will cause the panel to carry the support beam in a forward direction and turn the main horizontal shaft of the windpowered traveling shaft machine which will turn a generator or other device to produce electricity or mechanical power. The size of the windpowered traveling shaft machine determines the wind speed that it will withstand. It is a fixed-base machine.
