ABSTRACT:
A wind powered generator apparatus including a support member, a trim rotatably connected to the support member, a plurality of blade members pivotally connected around the rim, and a generator connected to the rim for producing an electrical output relative to a rotation of the rim. Each of the plurality of blade members is movable between a wind-capturing position and a wind-passing position as the rim rotates. A rotatable base is affixed to the end of the support member opposite the rim. A vane is affixed to the support member for moving the support member such that the axis of rotation of the rim is transverse to a direction of wind. Each of the blade members includes a panel, an arm extending inwardly from an end of the panel and pivotally connected to the rim, and a counterweight connected to the arm at the pivotal connection of the arm with the rim.
