Claim:
1. A wind turbine, comprising: a plurality of turbine wheel systems, wherein each of said turbine wheel systems comprises a supporting frame, a turbine rotor supported by said supporting frame, and a rail frame coupled to said supporting frame to guide a rotational movement of said turbine rotor, wherein said turbine rotor comprises a circular upper rim, a circular lower rim spaced apart from said upper rim and a plurality of blades extended between said upper and lower rims, wherein said turbine rotor is driven to rotate along said rail frame in responsive to wind force exerting at said blades, wherein said turbine wheel systems are stackable that one of said turbine wheel systems is stacked on top of another said turbine wheel system; and a plurality of power converting systems, each power converting system being operatively coupled with a corresponding one of said plurality of turbine wheel systems for converting kinetic energy of each of said turbine rotors into useable energy selected from the group consisting of electrical energy and mechanical energy.
