The present invention provides a wind turbine that has a rotor, an air pump, an air reservoir, a liquid reservoir, a discharge pipe, a turbine and a generator. The rotor is configured to convert wind energy into rotatory motion. The air pump is connected to the rotor and configured to operate with the rotation of the rotor. The air reservoir is connected to the air pump through a non-return valve. The liquid reservoir is maintained at a particular height and connected to the air reservoir. The liquid reservoir is configured to gain potential with the increase in volume of the air in the air reservoir. The discharge pipe is provided in the air reservoir and is configured to selectively allow discharge of the air from the air reservoir. The turbine is connected to the discharge pipe arid configured to rotate on the discharge of the air from the discharge pipe. The generator is connected to the turbine for generation of electricity on rotation of the turbine. |
