A wind energy apparatus is made up of a plurality of modular wind energy devices (1) or units (1, 1a or 1b). Each unit has a housing (3, 3a or 13, 13a or 13b) and at least two turbines (20, 20a or 20b) mounted on the housing. Each of the turbines has a blade set extending upward from the housing. Each blade set has a vertical axis extending upward in relation to the housing. Each of the turbines has a generator (22 or 22a or 103) connected thereto, each generator being disposed in the housing, and having a rotor (48) and a stator (42). Each turbine is rotatably mounted with respect to the housing, and mounted to the rotor so that they rotate together. Each housing has a positive connector and negative connector (30, 32) on each side of the respective unit. The units, when placed together, connect their respective poles, positive and negative, together completing a circuit. Therefore, one may connect multiple units together. |
