OSTI ID:7281193
A wind turbine assembly is described which comprises a supporting framework including a rigid elevated platform, a turntable rotatably supported from the platform for swivelling movement about a substantially vertical axis, a horizontal shaft rotatably journalled from the turntable with the end portions of the shaft projecting diametrically therefrom, a plurality of wind wheels mounted on each end of the horizontal shaft outwardly of the turntable for rotating the shaft in response to axial flow of wind through the wind wheels. The area peripherally of the wind wheels is unconfined to provide unrestricted and untrapped wind flow in relation to the wind wheels. A vertical shaft is supported from the framework and connected to the horizontal shaft. A generator assembly is supported at the lower end of the framework and is connected to the vertical shaft.
