Generator consisting of a vertical tower, anchored to a solid base on the ground, which supports a set of drive elements consisting of pairs of blades which are concave on one side and convex on the other in such a manner that they gather the wind which causes them to rotate and move a shaft integral with all of them. Thus, wind power is converted into mechanical power in the aforesaid shaft which is connected mechanically to the rotor of an electric generator in order to produce electrical energy. This wind-powered generator is of use in rural areas remote from the national grid and is capable of operating with very gentle winds. Moreover, it may be painted to minimize its environmental impact. <IMAGE>
