A beverage dispensing apparatus is provided which includes a housing ( ) having a chamber ( ) in which a beverage container ( ) can be placed, the container having at least one deformable wall ( ) and an outlet ( ) to which a beverage delivery line ( ) and a tapping device ( ) can be connected, a locking and sealing mechanism ( ) for closing a pressure space ( ) in an airtight manner, which pressure space is situated between an outer wall ( ) of the beverage container ( ) and an inner wall ( ) of the chamber ( ), and a pressurizing device ( ) for pressurizing the pressure space ( ) to force beverage out of the container via the outlet. To improve the sealing and locking and to make the apparatus convenient to operate for the user the locking and sealing mechanism ( ) is arranged between the outer wall ( ) of the beverage container and a wall of the chamber. As a result of this, the pressure chamber is disposed between the inner-wall ( ) of the chamber and the outer wall ( ) of the container, the outlet ( ) of the container ( ) being situated outside the pressure space ( ).

Wind turbine assembly consisting of a wind turbine mounted in a wing profile. The aim is to fix the wing profile to the ground surface with the aid of the cable and to allow such a wing profile to float through a combination of aerodynamic lift and lighter-than-air buoyancy at an appreciable height above the ground surface. As a result the maximum amount of wind can be caught. The wind turbine consists of a turbine having a horizontal shaft, the blades being constructed as flexible webs which change in shape depending on the rotational position thereof.

Assembly for storing and dispensing beer and other carbonated beverages
