Abstract:
A wind driven generator comprising:a vertically oriented stationary pole;commutator means coaxially disposed coaxially about and attached to said pole and including a first metal ring and a second metal ring, wherein said first metal ring and said second metal ring encircle said pole;armature means coaxially disposed about said pole in close proximity to said commutator means, said armature means including a winding having a first lead and a second lead, said armature means further including a first brush and a second brush, said first brush situated to make contact with said first metal ring and said second brush situated to make contact with said second metal ring, and wherein said armature means includes first bearing means attached to and disposed between said armature means and said pole for reducing rotational friction;rotor means coaxially disposed about said pole and disposed radially outward of and in close proximity to said armature means, said rotor means including a plurality of magnets situated adjacent said winding and producing a plurality of flux fields that impinge upon said winding when said rotor means rotates about said pole, and wherein said rotor means includes second bearing means attached to and disposed between said rotor means and said pole for reducing rotational friction;first wind collecting means attached to said armature means for collecting wind and inducing said armature means to rotate with respect to said pole; andsecond wind collecting means attached to said rotor means for collecting wind and inducing said rotor means to rotate in a direction opposing the direction of rotation of said armature means.
