I understand French perfectly and I was literally "blown away" by this ingenious idea.
A very genial idea.

Can someone please tell me what is so good about this video, it does not show anything of the device and the inventor and the panel talk generalised shit.

A political stunt, no more.

 :-\ Very interesting, but in his presentation, I think he didn't mention about the movement of the wind direction, only about dominant wind direction?... Then I think he will loose some power without moving itself  for moving wind direction.

And too, he did not mention how the gearing will be mount?   I mean one in each panel or one gear for each 4 panels and what kind of transmission he think to use  ... ?

It good to see it in theories, but  it's hard to do... (Harness all the wind effectively  ! )

Good luck to this inventor !

Hey Hans go to the link presentation of the eoliene, skip like 3 chapters, then he explain the based concept is to do it like wind boat but with  horizontal rotational wing.
But I think it will be hard to do it without industrial making this kind of machine and there will be a lots of parts to proof his concept !

Hans,

the inventor explains everything including switching between 1:1 and 2:1 gearing depending upon power generation or minimum resistance to the wind should the wind force be too strong.  He also talks about multiple independent stories (Stockwerke) where each can have independent gear ratio switching.  One story could have big panels for low winds and another story could have smaller panels for strong winds.

Very well thought out and very ingenious.  I am very positively impressed with this idea.

@ all
you can understand the "how to" windmill by seeing technical explanations on the site.
arts and plans talk by themselves. no need to speak french

if you had even drive a boat in the wind  (excuse bad language)... easy to understand . ;D

Without French knowledge, you will miss a lot.

Basically his windmill is doing the same thing as a sail boat making a complete turn.

He switches gear ratios between 1:1 and 1:2 to change between full power and feathering (close to zero wind resistance).  His windmills therefore have a large dynamic range of wind speeds.  His arrangement also is such that one blade never blocks wind from another blade.

Hans' comment should be ignored since he did not understand.

Thanks titof,

This is the link you should have posted before. Good technology. The other video is meaningless without this presentation.

As a lone inventor you can only go so far - time and money permitting.
Big industry seems only able to look at improving existing known designs.
@mine
I am interested in what you are doing. Briefly looked at your patent. Interesting possibilities however
the number of moving parts may make the device prone to 'things going wrong'

I would like to know more.

I believe that an important part of the sailing principles has been left out here.
Anyone who has experience with sailing understands the principles of sailing against the wind.
This principle is not included here.
One could make the blades shaped like bended sails or wings of an airplane, so more advantage can be derived from it.
In such case the blades drawn at the  6 and 12 o'clock positions of the overview drawing will have additional pull counter-clockwise (so, in the direction of the intended rotation) due to the mechanism of underpressure at one side of such bended blades. An example is attached

This will however require flexible blades, since a flipover of the bended side is required when such blades rotate from e.g. position 4 o'clock to 2 o'clock.
