VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE AND GENERATOR

摘要

A wind turbine and generator apparatus for mounting on a substantially vertical fixed cylindrical object includes a stationary generator member encircling the cylindrical object and fixed to the cylindrical object. A rotating generator member encloses the stationary generator member, and is rotatably supported by the stationary generator member. A plurality of blades is mounted to the rotating generator member such that a wind contacting the blades is operative to rotate the rotating generator member about the stationary generator member to generate electrical energy.
