Abstract

See full text

A vertical axis windmill turbine includes a support structure for supporting the vertical axis windmill turbine above ground level. At least one rotor rotates upon the support structure. The at least one rotor has a horizontal structure having a rotational axis perpendicular to the ground level. The support structure further comprises at least one circular torque ring member extending around the rotational axis of the at least one rotor. A plurality of blades positioned within each of the at least one rotor causes the at least one rotor to rotate on the support structure responsive to wind force. A plurality of torque ring mounting connectors associated with each of the plurality of blades interconnect the at least one circular torque ring to the plurality of blades. A plurality of vanes are located on each of the plurality of blades and rotate between an open position to limit drag on the at least one rotor and a closed position that provides a rotational force to the at least one rotor. The plurality of vanes rotating between the open position and the closed position responsive to a wind force.
