Propeller and horizontal-axis wind turbine
A propeller, wherein the tip parts of the propeller blades of a horizontal-shaft windmill are tilted in the front direction of the propeller blades to form inclination parts. The inclination angle of the tilted parts is set within the range of 25 to 50° relative to the longitudinal direction of the propeller blades.
1. A horizontal-axis wind turbine comprising:
a column;
a chassis rotatably mounted to the column;
a propeller mounted to a back of the chassis and comprising a plurality of propeller vanes, each vane of the plurality of propeller vanes comprising a tilted part and a base part, a base part boundary line between the tilted part and the base part having a maximum chord length of each vane, the base part boundary line being an arc of a circle formed during rotation of the propeller;
a plurality of support vanes mounted at a proximal end to the chassis and having distal ends; and
a plurality of directional rudders mounted to the distal ends of the plurality of support vanes to surround the propeller.
