Wind turbine apparatus with fluidic rotation indicator
A wind turbine apparatus, comprising, an impeller housing, the housing including a front torroidal plate spaced from a rear solid uninterrupted plate, wherein the front plate is parallel, and spaced from the rear plate in a coaxially aligned relationship, and an axle shaft fixedly mounted to the rear plate and to the front plate extending rearward of the rear plate, and a plurality of arcuate vanes mounted between the rear plate and front plate adjacent an outer periphery of the housing, wherein the outer periphery of the housing is defined by a rear plate outer periphery and a front plate outer periphery, and each arcuate vane includes an outer edge adjacent the outer periphery, and an inner edge spaced from the outer periphery, wherein the inner edge and outer edge are arranged in a parallel relationship, and a central cone, the central cone including a cone base, wherein the cone base is fixedly mounted to a forward surface of the rear plate, and a cone apex positioned to extend at least to the front plate, wherein the cone is arranged coaxially relative to the axle shaft, and the arcuate vanes are positioned between the central cone and the outer periphery, and a plurality of radial brace legs mounted to an outer surface of the front plate extending radially of the front plate terminating in a central bearing ring, with a forward terminal end of the axle shaft mounted within the bearing ring, and a plurality of arcuate liquid chambers mounted to the forward surface of the front plate, each liquid chamber spaced an equal radial distance relative to the axle shaft and equally spaced about the front plate, with each chamber containing a first fluid and a second fluid, each first fluid defined by a first coloration and a first specific gravity, and each second fluid defined by a second coloration and second specific gravity, whereupon rotation of the impeller hosing, the first fluid and second fluid are intermixed to define a third coloration.
