Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022169371A1] A floating windmill construction, comprising a foundation (12) which floats in a body of water (20), where the floating foundation (12) supports at least one tower (14) equipped with a turbine (16), and said floating foundation (12) comprises a submerged, elongated and stabilizing buoyancy part (3) attached to the lower part (4) of the tower. The floating foundation (12) comprises one or more outwardly extending stabilizer arm(s) (6) which extend in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the elongated and stabilizing buoyancy part (3), said stabilizer arm (6) penetrates the water surface of the body of water (20). The submerged, elongated and stabilizing buoyancy part (3) is arranged to float horizontally in the body of water (20) and is rigidly anchored to one or more bottom- fixed foundations (25) that extend up from a seabed (30).
