The present invention relates to a vertical floating wind propulsion system that is able to increase the concentration of dissolved oxygen in bodies of water while reducing the concentration of contaminating organic matter under the action of biofilms of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, which transform or consume said organic matter in their metabolic processes. The present invention consists of a wind propulsion system, a grooved floating buoy, a system of internal and external culture media, a duct, a sediment collecting base and an anchor. The wind propulsion system captures wind energy to generate rotational movement which is transferred by means of a shaft to a system of thruster propellers, which are arranged inside the duct. As the water rises by hydraulic displacement, organic sediments and microorganisms that can attach to the internal and external culture media are carried with it, forming biofilms. These communities of microorganisms consume excess organic matter in their metabolic processes, reducing the concentration thereof in water. Furthermore, the water that is displaced to the surface can be oxygenated in a more efficient way when it comes in contact with atmospheric oxygen. The system can be located in critical areas in bodies of water and is kept in situ by means of a concrete anchor. The system is designed as a device that neither consumes electricity nor generates polluting emissions as it is wind-powered.

The invention describes a wind turbine vessel (1) which autonomously sails at high sea by means of wind turbines (2) and produces, stores and transports energy. The wind turbine vessel (1) is a multi-hull vessel having three or more hulls (3), between which at least one wind turbine (2) is installed. The hulls (3) are installed rotationally symmetrically parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wind turbine vessel (1). This makes it possible for the wind turbine vessel (1) to pivot, that is to say to rotate about its own longitudinal axis, in order to be resilient in the case of sea storms. In the event that it capsizes in strong winds or waves, it retains its complete structural and functional integrity as a result of its rotationally symmetrical design. The wind turbines (2) are used simultaneously in two ways. Firstly, they are used for the production of electrical energy which is stored on board in the hulls (3), for example in batteries or with power-to-hydrogen. Secondly, the wind turbines (2) are used as sails for driving and controlling the wind turbine vessel (1) by means of yawing movements. It can thus sail autonomously at high sea in areas in which the wind conditions are favourable for energy production, that is to say it can use stronger and more uniform winds, and transport the energy stored on board to a location where it can be fed into the energy grid.
