Abstract: A wind turbine assembly including a rotor body having mounted thereon a plurality of rotor blades. Each of the rotor blades may be joined at an inner extremity to a blade stem projection extending interiorly into the rotor body and secured to the rotor body by a torsional-spaced and axial-shock damping connection. The blade stem projection may also be secured within the rotor body in a manner allowing limited rotation of the blade stem projection relative to the rotor body, corresponding to a selective range of pitch of the associated rotor blade, with a system for rotating a blade stem projections of each of the rotor blades by corresponding degrees of rotation to provide a predetermined pitch of the rotor blades. Also disclosed are pitch-damping tower designs, and an integrated design wherein the tower is pitch- and yaw-damped.
