Abstract:
1. A rotary windmill power generator comprising: a rotatable member; a plurality of iso-grid panels interconnected in pairs, with each pair forming a panel assembly of two foldable iso-grid panels with one panel assembly connected to the rotatable member at a first end thereof and a corresponding panel assembly connected to the rotatable member at another end thereof spaced apart from the first end; a hollow upright tower; a turbine assembly representing the power generator disposed in the upright tower adjacent an end of the tower nearest the plurality of iso-grid panels with the turbine assembly in engagement with said rotatable member for converting energy from each iso-grid panel assembly into electrical power and a drive gear assembly connected to each iso-grid panel assembly at each spaced apart end of the rotatable member for controlling an opening and closing of each iso-grid panel assembly relative one another in synchronism with the rotation of the rotatable member such that when one iso-grid panel assembly is open the opposite iso-grid panel assembly is closed and vice versa, wherein each iso-grid panel in each iso-grid panel assembly comprises; a multiplicity of deep pockets in a honeycomb arrangement with each pocket defining a cavity of predetermined dimension and volume for collecting wind.
