ABSTRACT:
Wind-driven power plant comprising a rotor with any desired number of blades and rotating during operation in an at least approximately vertical plane, the individual blades of the rotor being attached by means of articulations to a hub, which hub is fastened to the rotor shaft, the hub being mounted in a head of the plant which is carried by a tower at a height above the ground which is greater than the length of the rotor blades. The rotor is mounted in a head part, the latter swinging into a vertical position when the plant is at standstill; the rotor blades are swung around their articulations when the plant is at standstill up to a position which is at least approximately vertical; and the ends of the rotor blades are kinematically coupled for joint swinging motion with the swingable head part.
