A vertical-axis wind turbine and methods for using the same are provided. The vertical-axis wind turbine has a substantially cylindrical rotor assembly having a lower circular frame member and a spaced upper circular frame member and a plurality of substantially vertical blades connected to and extending between the respective lower and upper frame members. At least one electrical generator having a rotative wheel is mechanically coupled to a portion of the rotor assembly. A plurality of support members are configured to rotatively support the rotor assembly about a vertical axis of the wind turbine at a spaced distance from a ground surface. |
