ABSTRACT:
A wind turbine apparatus having a frame assembly consisting of a hub and an outer rim interconnected by a series of spokes. Several wind vanes are rotatably secured within the frame assembly so as to extend from the hub radially outwardly around the frame assembly. Each wind vane consists of an impeller and an impeller shaft, the impeller shaft being positioned so that it does not pass through the center of wind moment of the impeller. Thus, when a wind vector reaches the impeller, the impeller and shaft rotate in direct accordance with the wind's velocity, thus ensuring that the impeller faces optimally into the wind. A biasing device is attached to each impeller shaft, the biasing device serving to retard the rotation of the wind vanes when the wind vector exceeds a given velocity, thus ensuring that the impellers maintain a constant rotational speed. A link means interconnects the adjacent impeller shafts so as to ensure that the wind vanes rotate simultaneously.
