ABSTRACT:
A wind-driven electric current-producer has a magnetic field producing alternator rotor directly driven by an air turbine blade. The alternator and blade together are mounted on a vertically tiltable control frame which is pivotably mounted on a main frame that swivels with the wind direction in response to a guide vane. In high winds the blade and alternator tilt upward but continue to aim into the wind and produce current. The guide vane is low to accomodate the tilted blade path. The location of the pivot causes gravitational forces to tilt the control frame in both directions. Springs counterbalance the upward tilting forces. The spring mounts have a stop that limits the tilt in both directions.
