摘要

Devices that convert the kinetic energy of the air flow into mechanical work are conceivable in great variety and have been proposed in the most bizarre forms (Molly, J. P.: Windenergie, Theorie, Anwendung, Praxis Karlsruhe: Verlag C. F.Müller, 2. Auflage, 1990). Museums and patent offices are full of more or less promising inventions of this kind. Mostly, however, the practical usability of these “wind turbines” falls far short of the inventors’ expectations.
