ABSTRACT:
A wind energy apparatus has a shaft, a plurality of masts extending radially outwardly of the shaft, a plurality of dihedral sails respectively affixed to the plurality of masts, and a plurality of lanyards respectively connected to an outward surface of the plurality of dihedral sails. A controller is connected to the lanyards for contracting and extending the lanyards relative to the position of the masts. A generator is interconnected to the shaft for producing electrical energy relative to a rotation of the shaft.
