ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting solar and wind energy into rotational energy comprises a housing defining a lower aperture, an upper aperture and a plenum extending between the apertures. A wheel carrying a plurality of cylindrical foils is mounted within the housing for rotation about a horizontal axis. As the wheel rotates, the foils are sequentially located between the apertures. An elongated tube extends upwardly from the upper aperture to develop airflow through the plenum.
