This document describes a new wind power generation system called "Sails and Rope" that uses sails hanging from ropes to harness wind energy. It aims to address issues with traditional wind turbines like high costs and inability to access certain locations. The system works by using sails that automatically adjust their shape in response to wind speed and direction, transferring kinetic energy to the ropes. This energy could then be converted to electricity. The inventor is seeking partners and investors to help develop the system, citing potential benefits like access to higher altitude winds and ocean currents.

2. The problem of traditional wind
power system
• A set of Flabellum (3-4 fans) need one
motor.
• Need a large fan to get a larger wind farm.
• Hard to location.
• Building and maintain cost is high
• Most fans can only get low-altitude wind
power, compared to high-altitude wind
energy is small and unstable.
3. The Principle of Sails and Rope
power generation
• When the wind blows freely in the steering pennant, flag
fabric is always parallel to the wind, tail end triangular
flag floating around
• Put the tail of flag a little back, the flag will form the airfoil
sail shape.
• Use torsion springs, when the wind blows at an angle to
sail surface, the torsion spring will pull back a part of the
angle of the sail.
• At this time the sail surface is curved, the two sides of
the sail surface pressure is different form the Bernoulli
effect, provides an additional power.
4. The Principle of Sails and Rope
power generation
• Sail surface transverse elastic means, when the wind
bigger, increase the degree of bending of the sail,
sail the two side pressure difference increases,
along with the Bernoulli effect is more obvious,
when the wind becomes small, sail-plane bending
reduced to Bernoulli effects can last.
• When the wind is too large, the convex surface of
the curved due to wind reduction, and sail with the
wind angle becomes larger, the sail will reduce
steering forces, while the spring torque increases,
the sail will be back.
• When the wind direction, wind speed change, sail
surface also will automatically change the windward
angle..
5. The Principle of Sails and Rope
power generation
• When Bernoulli effect occurs, power is applied to sail in the
direction it is not consistent with the cable direction, with the
direction perpendicular to the component cable will sail tilt, the
stronger vertical force, the greater the inclination of the sail,
take advantage of this phenomenon sail top rail extends, the
end of a weight increase, and the cable can sail angle
increases, reducing the vertical component, the horizontal
component increases, that is, to reduce the inclination to
increase the force pushing the cable, in other words, the best
catch Bernoulli effect angle.
• Within a certain range, the strength of the spring system has
made little impact on the wind, and when the spring is strong,
sail back angle is large, the Bernoulli effect in vertical cable
component is large, the tilt will be larger, At this time the
weight on the bar back rail will therefore more perspective.

7. The Principle of Sails and Rope
power generation
• In short, just put lots of sails on the rope. The rope forms
a loop. When wind blow sails, it will carry the rope to
move forward, then take the energy from rope by a
motor.
• Imaginging the sailboat hanging on a rope like gondola.
• Sailing can go upwind (side upwind), of course, this
system can too, so the system can gain power bi-
direction.
• Even if there is a positive wind direction, the sail would
swing around in this direction, there will be no power, but
there will not be too much resistance.

9. Benefit
• With a very large wind farm, just need one
motor, motor can be settled to the ground
for easy maintain.
• Cost is low, easy to maintain.
• Can build at many places like wind-gap
between buildings that traditional wind
power system can not.
10. Benefit
• Can be fixed at both ends on the ground, sails
put up by a fixed point, when the sail up to a
certain height, it will be pulled down second fixed
point, and later followed by rising sails, sail down
in front of the cable drive away, through the
second after the fixed point back to the first
fixed-point, and then to rise again, capture high-
altitude wind energy..
• Can work in ocean current by throwing it into the sea to
gain ocean current energy..
• It is the only one do not need a wide terrain, the cable
path can be set along the environment, can work in the
air (both at high and low altitude) and ocean currents.
11. Advantage
• Wind energy is proportional to the cube of wind
speed, wind turbines 80 meters high average
wind around 5 m / s, and 800 m altitude is 7 m /
s, down conversion, wind ratio is 1: 2.744
• High-altitude wind energy more stable, that is,
we can expect a more stable power output.
• Taiwan's Central Mountain Range is very
suitable for high-altitude wind, studies have
pointed out that wind energy is sufficient to
provide more than a full Taipower can be used.
12. Advantage
• If the ocean current power generation, energy
density is 800 times that of traditional wind
energy.
• Taiwan Kuroshio both stable, not too far
offshore, if they can use to generate electricity, it
can provide the the whole island ¼ electricity.
• If they can effectively use the mountain wind,
coupled with the energy of ocean currents, not
only no longer need nuclear power, thermal
power plants can be shut down, can significantly
improve air quality, carbon emissions can be
significantly reduced.
13. Advantage
• Compared with the general altitude kite
power generation, the use of more
Bernoulli effect, under the same
conditions, the power can be obtained
than double.
• Compared with the flying wing, simple
structure, light weight, safe and
inexpensive.
14. Status
• Use of personal spare time prototyping, basic functional
verification success, being designed breakdown.
• Now it can sail in rope exercise in trying to make more
precise angle so that it can be used to obtain higher wind
direction, and this step will have been carried out, in
other words, in the power generation facilities on line,
you can also continue to improve the structure in a
manner to enhance efficiency.
• Super fresh, just apply for patents, and to apply for green
energy projects to accelerate the review.
• Will show at the Taipei International Invention Exhibition
October 1-3.
