Patent ID: 8344569

Claim:
A generator for a wind power installation, the generator comprising an exterior rotor, a stator with teeth surrounded by windings and separated by slots, and poles of an exciter field which are solely formed by permanent magnets that are joined with the external rotor, wherein front and rear edges of each individual pole are inclined in a single direction and in the same direction relative to the rotational axis of a rotor, wherein the edges and longitudinal axes of directly successive poles are inclined to the rotational axis of the rotor in alternating opposed directions, or wherein the poles are arranged in directly successive groups of at least two directly successive poles whose longitudinal axes and their edges are inclined to the rotational axis of the rotor in the same direction, and the longitudinal axes and the edges of the poles are alternatingly inclined to the rotational axis of the rotor from group to group in opposite directions.
