A lateral wind turbine is presented. The lateral wind turbine includes an elongated rod that rotates about a rotation axis through the center of the rod. The lateral wind turbine further includes a number of blades radiating out from the rod in an arrangement along the length of the rod to capture wind energy. A wind collector, preferably in the form of a cylinder, at least partially houses and supports the elongated rod and the plurality of blades to allow rotation of the elongated rod about the rotation axis. The wind collector has an inlet an outlet, and at least one airflow guide at the inlet, to guide the wind energy through the plurality of blades at least partially transverse to the rotation axis. |
