The unique features of my VAWT invention: 

1.) The system can be operated individually or in combination with multiple systems. The construction allows for modularization through stacking of two identical systems. Additionally, the systems can be placed closer together, allowing for both parallel and diagonal arrangements as well as vertical stacking.

2.) The system is suitable for use in wind farms, allowing for both mixed wind farms (with HAWT and VAWT systems) and wind farms consisting solely of VAWT systems to be implemented.

3.) One of the key advantages of VAWT systems (wind turbines with vertical rotor blades) over HAWT systems (wind turbines with horizontal rotor blades) is that they take up less space. This enables their use in areas where building is restricted, for example due to conservation regulations, minimum distances to residential areas, animal welfare regulations or soil conditions. Furthermore, HAWT systems are not allowed to be operated commercially in residential areas (except for small wind turbines).

4.) The low height of VAWT systems does not impact the landscape.

5.) Unlike traditional wind turbines, there is no periodic shadow or light reflection (flicker effect).

6.) The VAWT system is quieter (depending on the size of the system) and has less noise pollution in terms of infrasound.

7.) The system is perceived as an object by birds and other animals.

8.) The system does not need to be aligned with the wind direction, allowing for energy savings. The system is designed to function independently of the wind direction.

9.) The VAWT system does not require blade adjustment.

10.) The acquisition and maintenance costs of the VAWT system are significantly lower than those of conventional wind turbines.

11.) The system is capable of generating power even in light winds.

12.) The modularity of the system allows for towers to be built in which each "module" represents a complete system.

13.) It is possible to attach PV modules to the system, enabling the use of solar and wind energy in the smallest possible space.

14.) The installation and commissioning of the VAWT system (in a smaller version) do not require any skilled labor.

Underwater Breathing:

The underwater air station provides divers, whether using or not using oxygen tanks, the ability to rest during their dive. This modernized and optimized design, also known as an "air bell" or "breathing chamber", enables divers to stay underwater for longer periods of time without surfacing.

The station can be configured so that divers can swap out their used oxygen tanks for a replacement or emergency tank. The exhaust air within the air bell is constantly replaced with fresh air through a technical process. Additionally, a grate can be attached to the bottom of the design to protect the divers.

Divers, with or without oxygen tanks, can breathe comfortably in the air station as they do not have to wear snorkels, breathing masks or other mouthpieces. This means that the divers' airways are completely unrestricted within the air bell. The air bell itself is a bell-like structure filled with air.

The main use of the station is for underwater research, allowing for observations and documentation of marine life. However, it could also be made accessible for tourism purposes. Further research is necessary to determine the depth and pressure at which the structure and its features are suitable and functional.
