Abstract: A wind driven turbine (2) has a plurality of sigmoid blades (6) with the trailing edge (56) of each blade (6) mounted parallel to a horizontally oriented shaft (4). Each blade (6) extends radially outward from the shaft (4). An electric generation system is composed of an array of the turbines (2) mounted on a platform (54) positioned on top of a tower (86). Each turbine shaft (4) may be connected directly with a generator (78) for producing electricity.
