    Abstract: A multiple turbine energy collector and system comprises a plurality of turbines connected using a transmission system to transfer the movement of the turbines to rotate a generator to generate an electric current. In one embodiment, the turbines are arranged linearly with a gearing transmission means to couple the plurality of turbines to the generator. Other embodiments comprise a belt driven transmission or a chain driven system to drive the generator. In yet another embodiment, the turbines are stacked vertically. An independently rotating wind facing aerodynamic shroud covers a portion of the turbines creating a venturi shaped opening which increases airflow around the turbines and creates a low pressure region on the drag side of the turbines. The turbines are Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) and may be either a drag or lift type.
