WIND MOTORS

**Definition:** This place covers:

Mechanisms for converting the energy of wind into useful mechanical power.

In particular:

Wind motors with rotation axis substantially parallel to the flow of air entering the machine.

Wind motors with rotation axis substantially at right angle to the flow of air entering the machine.

Other wind motors.

Controlling wind motors.

Adaptations of wind motors for special use.

Combinations of wind motors with apparatus driven thereby.

Wind motors specially adapted for installation in particular locations.

Assembly, mounting or commission of wind motors.

Arrangements specially adapted for transporting wind motor components.

Transmission of mechanical power.

Monitoring or testing of wind motors.

Other details, component parts, or accessories of wind motors.
