Patent ID: 7582982

Claim:
A wind generator for supplying electricity to a load, the generator comprising: a frame having a center; at least one coil, each of the at least one coil being aligned radially relative to the center of the frame and having a proximal end and a distal end and being electrically connectable to the load; and an inner rotor comprising: a vertical inner shaft having a length and being mounted in the center of the frame for rotation about its longitudinal axis; a plurality of vanes each extending radially from the inner shaft; and at least one inner magnet, including an inner magnet for each of the at least one coil, each of the inner magnets extending radially from the inner shaft and fixed thereto for rotation therewith and positioned so that as the inner rotor rotates the inner magnet passes the proximal end of the coil; and an outer rotor comprising: a vertical outer shaft for each of the at least one coil, each supported a distance from the inner shaft of the inner rotor and each being mounted for orbital movement around the inner shaft; a plurality of outer vanes fixed to and extending radially from each of the least one outer shaft so that each outer vane is radially aligned relative to the inner shaft; and at least one outer magnets including an outer magnet for each of the at least one outer shafts in the outer rotor, each outer magnet extending from one of the outer shafts so that each outer magnet passes the distal end of each the at least one coil as the outer shafts orbits the inner shaft; wherein the at least one inner magnet and the at least one outer magnet are positioned relative to the at least one coil so that as either an inner or outer magnet passes a coil a current is generated; wherein all the inner and outer vanes have a front side and a back side, the front sides configured to collect wind and the back sides configured to deflect wind, and wherein all the vanes on the inner shaft are oriented with the front sides facing the same direction and all the vanes on the outer shafts are oppositely oriented, so that the inner rotor rotates in a first direction and the outer rotor rotates in a second and opposite direction.
