ABSTRACT:
A wind energy conversion device for converting directional wind force to torque along on a vertical rotational axis. The device includes a plurality of flexible vanes mounted to a framework for rotation therewith about a vertical axis. The vanes are mounted to upright posts on the framework. Axial vane side edges extend to opposite radial sides of the posts and are connected in a specific manner to the frame in order to produce a positive effect on rotation of the device in a prescribed direction, in response to wind currents.
