ABSTRACT:
A tethered wind-driven floating power plant which includes a support body carrying at least one rotor assembly, a current generator coupled to the rotor and alignment assembly for aligning the rotor to face into the wind, a ground anchor and at least one captivating stay connecting the floating power plant to the anchor. The support body is hollow and gas-filled to carry its own weight as well as the weight of the rotor assembly, current generator and alignment assembly. The support body is connected to the captivating stay through a joint connection having three degrees of freedom. The rotors are gimbal-mounted, at a variable relative position with respect to the support body but in fixed positions relative to one another.
