ABSTRACT:
A wind rotor is disclosed for turning electrical generators or other mechanical equipment. The wind rotor contains multiple curved blades which are in a single plane of rotation, and which are spaced closely together so as to maximize the efficiency of the captured wind. The open blades are designed to overlap one another to an extent that there are always at least two blades positioned to capture the wind regardless from which direction the wind is blowing. The curved blades allow the rotor to always rotate in the correct direction regardless of the direction of the wind without the use of moving vanes or housings to help direct the wind at certain portions of the wind rotor. If the rotor is made to turn in the incorrect direction, it will, as wind from any direction blows against it, slow down, stop momentarily, and then begin to rotate in the correct direction.
