Description: |
| Claim:
The nature of nmv invention consists in having the wings or sails attached to movable or rotating spindles having levers or equivalent devices connected to them, said levers or equivalents being also connected to a head which rotates with the wings or sails and upon the same shaft, the head having a lever connected to it, which is operated by a governor which slides the head upon the shaft and causes the levers or their equivalents to turn the wings or sails so as to present a proper resisting-surface to the wind, and thereby produce a uniform velocity of the wings or sails, which are made to have a greater or less obliquity, according to the velocity of the wind. |
