Abstract:
1. An apparatus for generating electricity by combining the effects of wind and solar energies, said apparatus comprising: at least one blade being rotational with respect to a central point upon the application of wind energy to said at least one blade; at least one solar cell provided on said at least one blade; at least two magnets each located at a non-contact distance from said at least one blade and at an opposite side of said at least one blade with respect to each other, said at least two magnets configured to create a magnetic field with respect to said at least one blade; and an electro-mechanical mechanism for converting kinetic energy due to the rotation of said at least one blade and solar energy impinging on said at least one solar cell into electrical energy, wherein the rotation of said at least one blade having said at least one solar cell provided thereon increases the amount of electrical energy produced compared to non-rotation of said at least one blade.
