ABSTRACT:
A wind-wheel for a wind-operated power generator comprises a rotor shaft, carrying the vanes of the wind-wheel, and mounted at its ends in rotary bearings supported by a frame. The frame is mounted on the top of a tower by means of a support member which itself is rotatable about a vertical axis through the tower. The connection between the support member and the frame enables the frame to be rotated about a horizontal axis below the bottom of the vanes. In a high wind, the wind-wheel can, thus, swing out of the vertical plane, spilling wind from the vanes, to avoid damage.
