| 摘要 |
The present invention is an improved wind turbine having multiple blades mounted in a turbine rotor. The tips of the blades are attached to a blade ring. The blade ring holds the blades in place, provides support to the rotor in a stator/guide track, provides a location for energy transfer either by mechanical means or electrical means, and provides at least one location for means for reducing friction between the rotor and the stator. The rotor may further include a device for controlling the direction of the rotor axis based upon the wind direction such as a rudder. The stator/guide track holds the blade ring, in a frictionless manner, and provides locations for levitation devices as well as energy transfer devices that complement devices on the blade ring. The guide track is mounted to a pedestal secured to the ground. The pedestal may also include devices for controlling the direction of the rotor.
