Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a rotating blade, having a collision face that collides with fluid and is rotated by the flow of said fluid, has at least one flow path that has been caved in from said colliding face; said flow path is located forward with respect to said rotation direction so that it is located in the rear with respect to the inlet wherein said flow is introduced and said rotation direction, and it has an outlet from which said fluid exits. Here, the cross-sectional area of said inlet may be greater than the cross-sectional area of said outlet. In addition, the cross-sectional area of said inlet may gradually decrease toward said outlet.

Claims (10)

1. A rotating blade colliding with fluid and rotated by a flow of the fluid, comprising: two faces with a leading edge and a trailing edge, a front end located at the leading edge, a rear end located at the trailing edge, and at least one flow path that is caved from one face from the front end of the blade to the rear end of the blade; wherein the flow path includes an inlet located at the front end of the blade which is forward with respect to a rotation direction for inflow of the fluid and an outlet located at the rear end of the blade which is backward with respect to the rotation direction for outflow of the fluid; and wherein a cross-sectional area of the flow path gradually decreases from the inlet to the outlet.

2. The rotating blade according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-sectional area of the inlet is greater than the cross-sectional area of the outlet.

3. The rotating blade according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the inlet is greater than the width of the outlet.

4. The rotating blade according to one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein a plurality of the flow paths are disposed and the flow paths are arranged side by side ranging from an end of the rotating blade to the rotation center of the rotating blade.

5. The rotating blade according to one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the flow paths are formed in an arc shape around the rotation center of the rotating blade.

6. The rotating blade according to claim 1 , wherein a fluid flow rate at the outlet is greater than the fluid flow rate at the inlet.

7. An air foil to which a lifting force is applied and where fluid flows, comprising: upper and lower faces with a leading edge and a trailing edge, a front end located at the leading edge, a rear end located at the trailing edge, and at least one flow path that is caved from the upper face from the front end of the air foil to the rear end of the air foil; wherein the flow path includes an inlet located at the front end thereof for inflow of the fluid and an outlet located at the rear end thereof for outflow of the fluid; and wherein a cross-sectional area of the flow path gradually decreases from the inlet to the outlet.

8. The air foil according to claim 7 , wherein the cross-sectional area of the inlet is greater than the cross-sectional area of the outlet.

9. The air foil according to claim 7 , wherein a width of the inlet is greater than the width of the outlet.

10. The air foil according to claim 7 , wherein a fluid flow rate at the outlet is greater than the fluid flow rate at the inlet.
