ABSTRACT:
A multi-armed, wind-operated wheel is disclosed which can be mounted to a spindle post and has a vane swivel-mounted to each of the radial arms of the assembly. The vanes are arranged to apply wind force against high-void supported grids during a downwind portion of rotation of the arm around the axis, and swing away from the grids to alignment with wind direction during the upwind sector of rotation of the arm and movement of the vane. A wire nut mounting of the wheel to a hanger wire, in lieu of post mounting, is also disclosed.
