Patent ID: 7997863

Claim:
A wind turbine, comprising: a boom having a first support and a second support; a drive unit mounted on said boom; a shaft having an axis of rotation and an angle of rotation, said shaft mounted on said first support and on said second support so as to be able to rotate through a number of revolutions per minute (RPM); an elongated first turbine blade extending from said shaft to a first tip, said first turbine blade having a first body member for receiving wind energy and a first stabilizer member connected to said first body member and to said drive unit, said first stabilizer member for adjusting a pitch of said first body member relative to wind; and an elongated second turbine blade extending from said shaft to a second tip, said second turbine blade adjacent to but separated from said first turbine blade such that wind can pass between said first turbine blade and said second turbine blade, said second turbine blade including a second body member for receiving wind energy and a second stabilizer member connected to said second body member and to said drive unit, said second stabilizer member for adjusting a pitch of said second body member relative to wind; wherein said drive unit connects to and drives said first stabilizer member and said second stabilizer member, and wherein driving said first stabilizer member changes the pitch of said first body member and driving said second stabilizer member changes the pitch of said second body member.
