Abstract:
1. A system for converting wind power to electrical energy comprising: a peripheral frame capable of being place in a folded configuration; sails interconnected to the peripheral frame; a hub around which the peripheral frame is rotatable; radial struts extending from the hub to the peripheral frame, wherein the said radial struts bear a full dynamic load from the sails and carry electrical wires; wheels mounted on the peripheral frame; and a plurality of electric generators, each electric generator being interconnected with at least one respective wheel, the hub being in electrical communication with the electric generators using the said electrical wires on the said radial struts; and wherein the said system generates electrical energy at low wind speeds less than 12 miles per hour, is portable and can be quickly deployed.
