ABSTRACT:
A tower for a wind generator made up of a plurality of segments where each segment fits into the one below it and is adjustable relative that lower segment. The lower segment is anchored in the ground and includes a stirrup which holds the lowest section of the tower a distance above the bottom of the hole so that when cement is poured into the hole to anchor the tower, the cement flows up into the interior of the tower to give additional support. Adjustment means in the form of set screws are provided where each pair of sections join to allow alignment of the sections to vertical.
