The generator and wind-powered rotor (9) are carried by a horizontal beam (1) located above the surface of the earth, the beam being anchored to anchor means (14) on the surface by a system of flexible cables (12, 13) such that the beam (1) may move in a circular path around the anchor (14) to face the rotor (9) into the wind, irrespective of the direction of the wind. The beam (1) is preferably mounted on a vertical lattice tower (2) to form a crane-like structure of the centilever type. The tower (2) may be movable on wheels, trolleys, railway cars or the like, or on a floating, semi-submersible or submersible platform located at sea. In another embodiment the beam (1) is carried by a lighter-than-air vehicle. Preferably a plurality of support structures each carrying a rotor (9) are interconnected to form a multi-module array which is movable as a whole around anchor means (14). |
