Abstract: An apparatus including a power generator for generating power when rotatably driven; a drive axle for rotatably driving the power generator when rotated; a platform supported by the drive axle for rotating the drive axle when moved; and a vehicle attached to the platform for moving the platform.

Abstract: A turbine wheel which includes a housing for enclosing the electrical generating apparatus, and track structure which engages and rotatably drives the generator or the like, i.e., through suitable coupling structure. Shroud structure is disposed in an operable exterior proximity with the turbine wheel for varying the effectiveness of the wind as it is acting upon the turbine wheel, i.e., in infinite variable stages commensurate with changing velocity of the wind. The speed of the turbine wheel is automatically controlled so as to remain substantially constant throughout a wide variance of normal wind velocity and irrespective of the direction of the wind.
