A wind generator comprising omni directional wind vanes as the source of mechanical energy. The generator comprises an inner and outer rotor, each rotor supporting a plurality of radially extending vanes. The vanes are configured to have a front side that captures wind and a back side that deflects wind. All the vanes on the inner rotor are oriented with their front sides facing in the same direction, and all the vanes on the outer rotor or oppositely oriented. In this way, the inner and outer rotors spin in opposite directions in response to a wind from any direction. Permanent magnets are mounted on the inner shaft to rotate with the inner rotor, and corresponding oppositely-oriented permanent magnets are supported on the outer shafts. Coils, connectable to a load, are mounted between the oppositely orbiting magnets. As the inner and outer rotors spin, the magnets intermittently energize the coils.
