  • Publication number: 20100303623
    Abstract: A new reduced cost easily manufactured light weight wind turbine design combining the use of downwind passive yaw, large take off rim on the outside of the semi rigid sails, a new method of furling or changing sail AOA, new semi rigid sail design, and new tower design that allows passive yaw for high installation of wind wheels to gain energy from higher wind speeds. Combining these features dramatically lowers weight/simplifies manufacture/avoids need for expensive composite materials/avoids the need for heavy high reduction gearboxes/reduces friction losses to air/reduces noise/reduces bird strikes/catches more energy per area of sails/and ultimately reduces cost in US$ per kwh generated ratio.
