A self-funneling conical frustum wind turbine that has the widest end open and the smallest end and conical surfaces closed. The widest end turbine will automatically face into the wind causing a funneling effect of the wind into the center of the turbine. This turbine has a plurality of openings that are partially obstructed by optimally angled blades that cause rotational spin when the high pressure air exits the turbine. This turbine is connected to a centrally located shaft, and the centrally located shaft transfers the rotational energy from the shaft to an energy conversion device. A vertical support structure supports a horizontal pivot plane that includes a bearing. This allows the turbine assembly to rotate freely to automatically face the wind. This horizontal pivot plane supports the rotating turbine assembly.
