ABSTRACT:
A wind powered turbine drive for an electric generator is disclosed in which both the generator and the turbine driving it are stationary and remain in a fixed position irrespective of wind direction. This turbine facilitates electric power generation by wind power in those higher power ranges where the greater generator and turbine weights otherwise make it difficult and costly to support and to rotate the generator to face the driving wind because this present generator obviates the necessity of the generator's changing direction in that this present turbine receives wind energy from any direction by the use of a weather vane which weathercocks to rotate a wind inlet to the direction from which the wind is blowing and thereby exposes only the receding turbine blades to the force of the incoming wind.
