A floating offshore wind turbine integrated with a steel fish farming cage mainly includes a wind turbine, a wind turbine tower, a living quarter, a floating wind turbine foundation in a conic steel structure, a mooring system, a lateral net encircling the floating wind turbine foundation, a bottom net, and lifting systems. The upper end of the wind turbine tower hosts a wind turbine, and the lower end of the wind turbine tower is fixed on the floating wind turbine foundation. In the present invention, the inner space of the floating wind turbine foundation is used to form a huge farming cage, which functions for the objectives of power exploitation on the top and fish farming at the bottom. The foundation has excellent stability and seakeeping performance, and is applicable to deep waters.

The invention utilizes a ski lift for wind power generation outside of the ski season. The carriers on the ski lift are replaced by wind catching structures that pull the haul rope either uphill or downhill, depending on the prevailing wind. The haul rope rotates the electrical drive motor of the ski lift, causing it to generate electrical energy.

The invention is made up of a supporting tower on which a rotor is installed, which comprises two parallel crossarms having two parallel rings fastened to the outer ends thereof which serve as a support for the bearings which, secured to the outer casing, make up the rotor, and said casing fixed on the inside thereof comprises a toothed wheel for transmitting the force of rotation, by epicyclic gearing, to the interior of the tower which forms a space suitable for housing the transmission, which is necessarily vertical, and runs towards the multiplier box. The blades are formed on two horizontal parallel beams which are joined and compacted together by metal boxes which house the guiding mechanisms and shafts that support and orient the blades.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating power to operate telecommunication network system (401) comprises of a vertical wind turbine, a generator (302) and a Faraday cage (106). The vertical wind turbine includes a hub, a hollow rotating vertical shaft (105), a rotor, plurality of blades (107), and a brake mechanism. The hub attached on to the shaft to which the blades (107) are attached. The hollow rotating vertical shaft (105) is connected to the hub that in turn connected to the generator (302). The shaft (105) is mounted on top of the telecommunication network system (401). The shaft (105) is provided to transfer the rotation of blades (107) due to wind energy to the generator (302) and thereby to convert the wind energy to electrical energy. The Faraday cage (106) is wrapped around the generator (302) to avoid electromagnetic interference and lightning.

A floating breakwater and wind energy integrated system used for offshore aquaculture. The system contains the wind turbine system, the floating breakwater system, and offshore aquaculture system. The combination of wind turbine, floating breakwater system and offshore aquaculture system makes full use of the floating breakwater, thus decrease the wave load on the floating cage. In addition, the floating breakwater offers a supporting platform to the floating wind turbine, which effectively reduces the costs of the wind turbine. Meanwhile, a power autarkic offshore aquaculture system may be realized by using the electrical energy generated by the turbine. Compared with the simple offshore aquaculture system, the utilization rate of the sea per unit becomes even higher while the costs of the floating wind turbine becomes even lower.
