This invention relates to increasing the use of an adjustable or flexible augmenter for the increase of power generation primarily used for utilizing wind energy. The adjustable augmenter is a wind enhancement structure with a plurality of flexible walls connected to each other with supporting horizontal elongated members. In the preferred embodiment, the invention is used with a plurality of smaller blades on a rotation connected to a tower structure with a plurality of the rotation and an inlet air flow regulation to achieve optimal power output. A preferred embodiment includes lightweight low cost structure of flexible wall to enhance an air flow into impact impellers connected to a rotation creating a swept area with a height to diameter ratio of greater than four. A preferred embodiment includes wherein said impact impellers connected to a rotation means creating a swept area with a height to diameter ratio of greater than ten. A preferred embodiment includes a furling or wind velocity control means for optimizing the power output of a wind power generating means with a flexible air velocity enhancement means.
