International ClassG05G 001/00Foreign Application Priority Data1991-04-09 GBAbstractA device for storage and release of energy having a body rotatably connected to a center shaft and two fins pivotably connected to the body. The pins have arms which each have an inertia block on an end of the respective arm. The arms are connected to the body by springs. A hood connected to the center shaft deflects an air stream toward the fins and the fins are pivoted rearwardly, radially displacing the inertia arms by centrifugal force. When the force of the air stream decreases, the springs urge the inertia blocks to return and stored energy is released, sustaining the rotation of the body. | |
