Using turbines that utilize sails or tarpaulins allows for very large dimensions, providing a large amount of energy at low cost. Without taking into account the generator, these turbines can have a cost between one tenth and one hundredth of that of a typical wind turbine.

But using simpler and more economical systems BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.

Los sistemas de energía cólica actuales. necesitan altas tecnologias, grandes dimensiones, sitos costes, colocarlos en alta mar para conseguir altos rendimientos y evitar la contaminación medioambiental. Son difíciles de controlar y complejos. Producen Interferencias eléctricas, matan las aves y no son muy aceptados por el público en general. La presente invención elimina dichos inconvenientes aportando un sistema sencillo, útil y económico, utilizando turbinas con cables y superficies vélicas: casquetes esféricos o paracaídas, cojines o colchones tipo parapente o cometas de lona, tela o plástico llenos de helio. Current wind energy systems require advanced technologies, large dimensions, costly sites, and offshore placement to achieve high efficiency and avoid environmental pollution. They are difficult to control and complex. They produce electrical interference, kill birds, and are not widely accepted by the general public. The present invention eliminates these drawbacks by providing a simple, useful, and economical system using turbines with cables and sail surfaces: spherical caps or parachutes, paraglider-type cushions or mattresses, or canvas, fabric, or plastic kites filled with helium.

EXPLICACION DE LA INVENCION EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Problema a resolver. Problem to be solved.

Se necesita mucha energía renovable y a bajo costo, los sistemas actuales han abaratado mucho los costes pero aún resulta necesario mucha subvención que hay que pagar de algún modo. Los sistemas de gran longitud, muchas veces por utilizar hileras de paracaídas, parapentes, cometas, etc. tiene problemas para su extensión desde tierra sin utilizar grandes terms, se soluciona elevando el extremo más externo con un dron de helices giratorias tipo Tricópteros . Cuadricópturus Hexacópteros y Octocópteros. Lapresente invención soluciona la mayor parte de dichos inconvernientes. A lot of low-cost renewable energy is needed. Current systems have significantly reduced costs, but substantial subsidies are still required and must be repaid somehow. Long systems, often using strings of parachutes, paragliders, kites, etc., have problems extending from the ground without using large terminals. This is solved by lifting the outermost end with a drone equipped with rotating propellers, such as tricopters, quadcopters, hexacopters, and octocopters. The present invention solves most of these problems.

The improvements to the high-altitude wind energy capture systems of the invention utilize turbines or rows of turbines rotating at high altitudes, supported at one end, and characterized in that they comprise: a) Paraglider-type cushions or mattresses with fixed or variable fins or rudders on their trailing edges, b) Paraglider- or kite-type surfaces or fabrics with fins or rudders on their trailing edges, c) Spherical caps, cones, hoods, or parachutes with lateral slits or openings through which the inclined air exits due to the difference in length of the two edges of the slits, d) Helical turbines, e) Support systems using cords and cables, f) Systems for the initial lifting of the turbines using drones, quadcopters, or similar aircraft, g) Systems for discharging static electricity and lightning to the ground. h) Warning systems with strobe LED lights i) A microprocessor that controls, protects and gives warnings of its operation.

En general las turbinas de las extremos superiores pueden ser infladles y estar llenas de helio para facilitar su izado. En su lugar se puede adadir un globo Heno de helio. Otro solución es elevarlos con un dron o drones tipo cuadricópteno o similar. Generally, the turbines at the top ends can be inflatable and filled with helium to facilitate lifting. Alternatively, a helium balloon can be added. Another solution is to lift them with a quadcopter drone or similar.

Los extremos inferiores de los cables pueden estar fijados a tierra con el generador próximo a las turbinas o ser giratorios y tener el generador en el extremo inferior, es decir, en tiena. Los cables pueden ser de acero inoxidable o de polímeras plásticos resistentes a la corrosión, poliéster polietilño, etc. y deben ser conductores con una mezcla de material conductor a fin de derivar las corrientes estáticas y rayos a tierra. The lower ends of the cables can be fixed to the ground with the generator near the turbines, or they can be rotating with the generator at the lower end, i.e., on the ground. The cables can be made of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant plastic polymers, such as polyester, polyethylene, etc., and must be conductive with a mixture of conductive material in order to divert static currents and lightning strikes to the ground.

Las turbinas sa direccionan automáticamente con te corriente de aire a viento. The turbines automatically direct the airflow to the wind.

En una variante en lugar de usar superficies vélicas en terma de casquetes, se utilizan velas triangulares. En turbinas de grandes dimensiones se puedan aplicar multiplicadores da rpm entre la turbina y los generadores. In one variant, instead of using sail surfaces in the form of caps, triangular sails are used. In large turbines, RPM multipliers can be applied between the turbine and the generators.

Cuando es posible te energía mecánica obtenida se puede utilizar para comprimir aire o hidrógeno, almacenándolos en bolsas o recipientes flexibles sumergidos en el mar a mediana o gran profundidad hasta el momento de su uso. Se puedan utilizar materiales inoxidables a base de acero, zinc, fibra do vidrio a carbono. Y las tetes o lonas de fibras naturales o sintéticas reforzadas con grafeno. When possible, the mechanical energy obtained can be used to compress air or hydrogen, storing it in flexible bags or containers submerged at medium or great depths in the sea until needed. Materials that can be used include stainless steel, zinc, fiberglass, and carbon fiber. The tanks or tarpaulins can be made of natural or synthetic fibers reinforced with graphene.

La protección de fuertes vientos se realiza retrayendo las turbinas cuando un sensor de velocidad del viento detecte una exaesiva intensidad. Protection from strong winds is achieved by retracting the turbines when a wind speed sensor detects excessive intensity.

Al sistema se le puede dar colores naranja, rojos suaves para que sean visible a las aeronaves.
