Underwater Wind Turbine Hub and Propeller System Design The underwater wind turbine hub is a critical component of the system, supporting the entire weight of the propeller and transferring the torque generated by the underwater winds to the electrical generator. The propeller design is optimized for efficiency in slow-moving ocean currents, utilizing a high aspect ratio and a unique blade angle that maximizes energy capture. The electrical generator is located at the hub's center, where it converts the mechanical energy of the rotating propeller into electricity. A high-torque gearbox is integrated into the system to increase the rotational speed of the propeller, allowing for more efficient power generation. The electrical output is then transmitted via an underwater power cable to a substation on the ocean floor. The flying wind turbine design features a sleek, aerodynamic nacelle that houses the electrical generator and control systems. A high-speed gearbox is used to increase the rotational speed of the blades, allowing for more efficient energy capture in fast-moving air currents. The blades are designed with a unique airfoil shape, maximizing lift and minimizing drag. The hub's diameter is carefully selected to optimize the system's performance in both underwater and flying applications. A robust structural design ensures that the system can withstand the stresses of operating in harsh marine environments or turbulent air flows.
