An apparatus for generating electric power from wind energy includes an upright structural frame having a base frame portion, an upright rod extending vertically along a pivot axis that passes through a center of the structural frame, and having a lower end disposed in the base frame portion of the structural frame. A blade unit is mounted fixedly on the upright rod such that an assembly of the upright rod and the blade unit is rotatable relative to the structural frame about the pivot axis so as to convert wind energy into a mechanical rotary power output. A generator is mounted on the base frame portion of the structural frame and is coupled to the lower end of the blade unit to convert the mechanical rotary power output into electric power.
