<p>A vertical axis wind turbine module (10) adapted to rotate about a vertical axis, the module including; a rotor (14) having a plurality of turbine vanes (16), the rotor being adapted to be rotated about the axis by a driving force exerted by incident air engaging the vanes; a pair of module transmission components being axially spaced from the rotor, one below and the other above the rotor (upper 22, lower not shown); at least one transmission means spaced radially from the axis (42,44), the at least one transmission means interconnecting the rotor and each transmission component such that rotation of the rotor about the axis causes rotation of the at least one transmission means and hence rotation of the module transmission components about the axis.</p> |
