G.F.M. Darrieus [...] prit un brevet américain en décembre 1931 concernant ses machines. Il est remarquable de voir qu'il n'a pas seulement inventé le batteur à œufs éolien mais aussi la machine à pales verticales droites et orientables [...]. Cette dernière [...] est maintenant commercialisée sous le nom de «gyromill». 5, record 1, French, - cycloturbine

Les moteurs électriques et les turbines à vitesse variable coûtent très cher mais peuvent être rentables dans certains cas. En effet, ils peuvent réduire la vitesse et la puissance jusqu'à 35 %. Il existe plusieurs types d'accouplements d'entraînements à vitesse variable que l'on peut installer entre les moteurs et les ventilateurs. 2, record 2, French, - vitesse%20variable

With the German government research establishment DFVLR, Dornier is developing an Open-Loop Gust Alleviation(OLGA) system. Gusts are sensed by an angle of attack vane at the nose, pitch rate gyro and vertical accelerometer : gust responses are dampened by moving both ailerons up or down simultaneously in association with the elevator. 1, record 4, English, - Open%2DLoop%20Gust%20Alleviation%20system
