The blade assemblies are mounted on the transmission seat. Each one of the blade assemblies has a fixing portion and a tilting portion. The fixing portion is mounted radially on the transmission seat and has a pivotal end and a groove. The pivotal end is disposed away from the transmission seat. The groove is caved inwardly near the pivotal end and has an inner surface. The tilting portion is pivotally connected to the fixing portion and has a rotating part and a forced part. The rotating part is disposed at the tilting portion, is pivotally connected to the pivotal end of the fixing portion, and has an abutting surface corresponding to the inner surface. The forced part is connected to the rotating part.
VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF
Wind driven apparatus is provided including upright support means and a plurality of wind directing wall members protruding outwardly from the upright support means at spaced apart intervals. The area between two adjacent wind directing wall members creates a wind collection section for collecting and directing wind in use. At least one opening is defined in the upright support means in each wind collection section for allowing wind, air and/or air pressure collected in the wind collection section to pass through said at least one opening and into an inner compartment defined in the upright support means. Drive shaft means provided in the inner compartment of the upright support means and rotatable means provided on and/or associated with the drive shaft means are rotatable as a result of air pressure and/or air flowing into the inner compartment via said at least one opening. Rotation of the drive shaft means can be used to drive electricity generating means, hydraulic pump means and/or drive transmission means in use.

Wind power generation device
A wind power generation system including a power generation unit having an elastically deformable base material in a shape of a longitudinal flat plate and a piezoelectric element disposed on the base material, and which generates electricity as the power generation unit is vibrated; the piezoelectric element is repeatedly bent and deformed by the vibration and stacked on the base material, the wind power generation system being configured to include a tension adjusting device that, when a wind speed is increased, moves the movable member to increase a tensile force that pulls the power generation unit in the longitudinal direction, and the tension adjusting device being a lift generating member that is formed integrally with the movable member so as to be extended and to have wing shape to both sides of the movable member and that moves the movable member based on lift generated according to the wind speed.

Joint structure and wind power generation device
A joint structure includes a clutch unit interposed between a shaft joint and a shaft body which is one of an output shaft of a speed increaser and an input shaft of a power generator. The clutch unit includes: a shaft coupling portion rotating integrally with the shaft body; a joint coupling portion rotating integrally with the shaft joint; and a one-way clutch provided between the shaft coupling portion and the joint coupling portion. The one-way clutch makes a connection integrally rotatably between the shaft coupling portion and the joint coupling portion in a state in which a rotation speed of the output shaft is higher than that of the input shaft, and releases the connection between the shaft coupling portion and the joint coupling portion in a state in which the rotation speed of the output shaft is lower than that of the input shaft.

WIND SCAVENGER
A wind scavenger including a frame, a litter collection unit, a lower gear-wheel assembly, an upper gear-wheel assembly, a net element, and a fan system is provided. The litter collection unit is attached to a base member of the frame. The litter collection unit includes a receptacle for collecting litter. The net element includes flexibly jointed plates for catching the litter blown by wind. The fan system is connected to the upper gear-wheel assembly via a power transmission system. The fan system, in communication with the wind, rotates the upper gear-wheel assembly and in turn rotates the net element around the upper gear-wheel assembly and the lower gear-wheel assembly and vice versa. The rotation of the net element from the upper gear-wheel assembly to the lower gear-wheel assembly conveys the litter caught by the flexibly jointed plates of the net element into the receptacle of the litter collection unit.
