Abstract
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.
