An omni-directional, vertical-axis wind turbine which includes a rotor/stator combination which maximizes energy production by increasing wind velocity and pressure plus eliminating back pressure. The stator section includes a plurality of vortical blades secured between upper and lower conical sails. The blades have a radius fundamentally equal to that of the rotor and a chord length approximately 1.25 times its radius. The rotor has a diameter approximately equal to one-half that of the stator and has a plurality of concave blades secured to and spaced from a vertical spindle, said blades being arranged in stages within the vertical rise of the rotor. Each rotor blade has a chord line equal to twice its radii and a chord length approximating one-third the diameter of the stator.
