OSTI ID:5161674
A wind powered generator for generating electrical energy is disclosed comprising a generator which has no slip rings between its field and armature, and which when mounted on a tower is controlled through suitable control mechanism to adjust the power output to a level compatible with the load and storage equipment, as well as the existing wind conditions. The control apparatus will prevent overloads and will provide for efficient utilization of available wind. The controls operate mechanism to vary the angle of interceptance of the propeller with the wind. The device is made to be relatively maintenance free and capable of unattended generation of electricity over extended periods of time.
