ABSTRACT:
A wind operated heating device is operated by a rotor. The heater has a liquid reservoir and a rotary element which is immersed in the liquid in the reservoir. The rotary element is driven by the rotor so as to heat the liquid. The rotor is connected to the rotary element by a shaft. A shield is arranged to rotate with the rotary element and is movable relative thereto such that the position of the shield member relative to the rotary element varies in dependence on the rotation speed of the rotary element so that the shield member provides a greater resistance to rotation at higher than at lower speeds of rotation.
