ABSTRACT:
Wind powered apparatus for attachment to a generator is provided to produce electricity. A series of foldable sails are attached to an endless chain having upper and lower reaches. Guide means control the folding and unfolding of the sails as they travel along the chain. The surface of the unfolded sails always face the wind to obtain maximum benefit therefrom while the folded sails, which travel against the wind to return to an unfolded position, act as wind vanes to keep the sails in proper position with respect to wind direction. As one sail drops to the lower chain reach, another sail rises to the upper chain reach for maximum efficiency. A plurality of such chain assemblies are placed laterally adjacent one another to create a "wind platform". Sprockets attached to the chain turn a shaft which powers a generator.
