A wind power system comprising a vertical tower defining a vertical travel path; a carriage mounted to the tower and configured to move along the travel path; and wind turbine mounted to the carriage and having rotatable blades to convert wind energy into electrical energy. The system may include one or more gear racks secured to the outside diameter of the tower upon which the carriage moves. The system may include a locking mechanism configured to lock the carriage in a working position at a top of the travel path, a maintenance position at a bottom of the travel path, and/or a storm position at a midpoint of the travel path. The turbine may be configured to hold the blades in a vertical alignment parallel to the tower, when the carriage is in the storm position. |
