Abstract: A power generating apparatus comprises an electrical power generating device, a vane-carrying structure and a mounting flange. The electrical power generating device includes a body and a power input shaft extending from within the body. The body is generally cylindrical shaped with opposing end portions. The power input shaft extends from a first end portion of the body and a power cord extends from within the body adjacent a second end portion of the body. The vane-carrying structure is attached to the power input shaft and includes a plurality of elongated vanes each have a longitudinal axis that extends generally parallel to a rotational axis of the power input shaft. The vanes are evenly spaced around the power input shaft. The mounting flange is positioned between the vane-carrying structure and the body of the electrical power generating device and is attached to the body of the electrical power generating device. The power input-shaft extends through an aperture of the mounting flange.
