Abstract: One embodiment of a hybrid vertical axis wind turbine with a big annular generator (40) electric motor auxiliary prime movers (42) and horizontal rotating steam turbine generators (106). The preferred embodiment has at least 5 wind turbines under an arch. The alternative embodiment has at least 3 wind turbines under an arch. Both embodiments also have steam turbine generators with a gear as an additional generator and prime mover of the big annular generator. Both embodiments contain double tapered spokes(54) connecting the wind turbine central axis tower to the big annular generators. Both embodiments have a blade control system (162, 142, 144).

Abstract: One embodiment of a hybrid vertical axis rotating load carrying bearing with continuously variable operating conditions able to carry surprisingly heavy weight, and occasionally easily able to carry drastically more weight than that; The preferred embodiment has 3 different types of bearings combined to form one ideal bearing. The first type of bearing is a half ball and female sliding bearing. The second type of bearing is a floating bearing that surrounds the sliding bearing. The third type of bearing is rolling bearings. In this preferred embodiment with 3 different types of bearings, the rolling bearings are partially engaged under ideal load weight conditions, and nearly fully engaged under severe load weight conditions. The sliding and floating bearings are always fully engaged into the vertical weight load no matter what the vertical weight load may be. Another embodiment is the hybrid bearing containing two types of bearings; a floating bearing and rolling bearings.
