In other small machines the centrifugal force on the blades as the rotational speed rises, is made to change their pitch. The blade fixing at the hub may have a spiral socket so that the blades changes pitch as i is pulled radially outwards by this force or, alternatively, the blade spindle may be bent near the hub so that the centre of gravity of the blade lies off the axis of rotation. Pitch changing with a fly-ball governor is used in the small Winpower machines. 1, record 1, English, - pitch%20changing

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In the case of a system with blade-angle adjustment, the electronic controller constantly measures the system's power output. If this is too high, a command is sent to the blade-adjusting system with the result that the rotor blades are moved slightly out of the wind. When the wind drops, the blades are turned into the wind. It must therefore be possible to turn the rotor blades around their own longitudinal axis. 11, record 3, English, - pitch%2Dregulated%20wind%20turbine

The two principal means of limiting rotor power in high operational wind speeds - stall regulation and pitch regulation ... Stall regulated machines require speed regulation. As wind speed increases, providing the rotor speed is held constant, flow angles over the blade sections ... The blades become increasingly stalled and this limits power to acceptable levels without any additional active control. For this to work, the speed of the WT [wind turbine] rotor must be held essentially constant and this is achieved through the connection of the electric generator to the grid. 4, record 10, English, - stall%20regulation

La régulation de puissance par mise en drapeau consiste à obliger les pales à pivoter autour de leur axe mécanique de façon à réduire l'angle d’attaque, donc le Cz et enfin le couple moteur. Cette réduction de l'angle d’attaque est obtenue par augmentation du calage(angle que fait la corde du profil avec le plan de rotation de l'hélice) moyen des pales. 2, record 11, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20r%C3%A9gulation%20de%20puissance%20par%20mise%20en%20drapeau

"Feathering" a propeller means rotating the propeller blades about 90 degrees so each blade is streamlined with the wind, which gives minimum drag. 2, record 12, English, - feather%20the%20propeller
Record number: 12, Textual support number: 2 OBS
A feathering propeller can alter the pitch of the blades up to almost 90 degrees. That is, the blade pitch is changed so that they have their leading edge pointing right into the direction of flight, offering minimum resistance to the airflow. This mode allows the propeller rotation to be stopped, without adding excessive drag to the aircraft. Feather may be used to improve the performance of the aircraft after the failure of an engine, but more usually in light aircraft it is used in motor glider applications. 3, record 12, English, - feather%20the%20propeller

Le calage des pales peut être augmenté ou diminué pour adapter l'incidence de la pale à la vitesse de vol, pour fournir plus de force à vitesse faible(en montée), ou moins de force à plus grande vitesse(en croisière). En cas de panne du moteur, les pales peuvent être orientées de manière à offrir la moindre résistance au vent et ne pas créer de traînée. On parle alors de mettre l'hélice en drapeau. Pour un pas donné, le calage angulaire du profil va en décroissant en s’éloignant du centre, car la vitesse locale augmente avec le rayon, d’où l'aspect vrillé de l'hélice. 2, record 12, French, - mettre%20l%26rsquo%3Bh%C3%A9lice%20en%20drapeau

stall regulation. The blades on a stall-regulated-WT [wind turbine] cannot be pitched. To achieve control of power captured above rated wind speed, the blades are carefully designed so that they progressively stall starting at the blade root and moving out towards the tip as the wind speed increases further. Stall-regulated WTs will respond much more quickly to gusts than pitch-regulated WTs (where mecanic pitch adjustments take finite amounts of time to effect), improving the power quality output by the WT above rated wind speed. 1, record 14, English, - stall%2Dregulated%20blade

Nous savons que la butée "petit pas vol" doit interdire de descendre en-dessous d’une certaine valeur pour éviter une perte de contrôle de l'avion à basse vitesse et limiter l'effet de survitesse moteur en cas d’avarie sur les mécanismes de l'hélice.(La position angulaire de la butée "petit pas vol" est déterminée pour la vitesse de décollage). Or, en fonctionnement au sol, si nous superposons une courbe de charge hélice en calage minimum(butée petit pas vol) au réseau de courbes précédent on s’aperçoit que la puissance absorbée par l'hélice est trop importante aux faibles régimes de rotation. Dans cette phase, le couple nécessaire à l'entraînement de l'hélice demande un débit de carburant tel que la [température] T3 est trop forte. [...] Il faut donc prévoir un angle de calage inférieur à l'angle donné par la butée "petit pas vol". Cet angle de calage inférieur est obtenu en déverrouillant la butée petit pas vol et en amenant le mécanisme sur une autre butée : la butée petit pas sol. Les pales sont maintenues en butée" petit pas sol" pour le démarrage et la première partie de la mise en puissance. Puis l'angle de calage augmente(fonctions obtenues grâce au régulateur d’hélice par exemple) et s’adapte afin d’équilibrer la puissance fournie [...] Lorsque l'angle de calage devient supérieur à l'angle petit pas vol, la butée correspondante se met en place automatiquement afin de protéger l'avion et le moteur. Il est bien entendu que ceci doit s’effectuer avant le régime maximum, donc avant le décollage. 2, record 20, French, - but%C3%A9e%20petit%20pas%20sol

The piston may move in the cylinder, or the cylinder may move over a stationary piston. The linear motion of the piston is converted by several different types of mechanical linkage into the rotary motion necessary to change the blade angle.
