Jannis Wacker Structural optimisation of AWES with rotary transmission

One cannot help but think of @dougselsam’s SuperTurbine ™ regarding torque transfer rotary systems, and more particularly embodiment including a TRPT such as represented at least on some figures reproduced below, among other figures (such like Fig. 88) from:

FIG. 84 shows a downwind perspective side view of the sixty-third embodiment, having multiple horizontal axis type rotors connected by helical torque transmitting lashing, a buoyant lifting body, and a directionally compliant base.

FIG. 85 is a side perspective view of the sixty-fourth embodiment, having buoyant horizontal axis type rotors, held by torque transmitting lashing, with no central shaft.

“…torque transmitting lashing, with no central shaft.” Other terms to disclose TRPT.

What matters is not the invention of the term TRPT, but the invention of the TRPT itself, and this is rightly considered by patent examiners who are more attached (dare I say it) to the structural and functional characteristics than to the term subsequently assigned.

I would have liked to have found these elements in the publication under consideration.

@dougselsam looks to be the inventor of TRPT (not the term as such, but the structure), in a similar way he is the inventor of Laddermill (not the term as such, but the device):
