Abstract:
1. An electrical energy generator comprising: a support assembly having an elongate support member: a rotor assembly being rotatably disposed upon said support assembly and having a plurality of vanes being movable by air for rotating said rotor assembly, said rotor assembly including a rotor member, said rotor assembly also including a plurality of magnets being attached to said rotor member with said magnets being arranged to form two rows of said magnets, said rows of said magnets including an outer circumferential row of said magnets and also including an inner circumferential row of said magnets being spaced from said outer circumferential row of said magnets: wherein said inner and outer circumferential rows of said magnets being in alignment to one another thus creating a magnetic field between said inner and outer circumferential rows of said magnets: a stator assembly being mounted upon said support assembly and including a stator member being movably disposed upon said support assembly for generating energy in conjunction with said rotor assembly and including a plurality of conductive coil members being attached to said stator member; and a means for moving said stator member relative to said rotor assembly upon said support assembly and including an actuator being disposed upon said support assembly and being connected to said stator member, said means for moving said stator member also including a microprocessor being in communication to said actuator and to a power supply for energizing said actuator to move said stator member linearly along said elongate support member and to move said conductive coil members relative to the magnetic field and to said inner and outer circumferential rows of said magnets depending upon the wind speed.
