A wind energy turbine having air driven blades peripherally distributed about a horizontal rotational axis forming an interior region in which air pressures built up by wind introduced thereto are released through the spaces between the blades. The rotor is rotatably supported by rollers on a pair of parallel front and back stationary tubular rings which act as tracks for the rotor. An aerodynamically contoured entry ring at the front side of the rotor promotes smooth flow of air to the rotor interior and covers the front side ring and rollers mated therewith.
