Abstract: The Wind Drum is a cylinder shaped wind utilization machine primarily used for electricity generation. Instead of a solid wall attaching the top and bottom circular plates are eight rods spaced equally around the circumference of the top and bottom circular plates. Now you have a drum shape you can see through from the elongated side. Attached to these rods are boards, or flat rectangular pieces, which make-up the vanes of the Wind Drum. Through mechanical manipulation of the angles of the eight vanes compared to the center, or pivotal spot, of the top and bottom circular plates the vanes are positioned so as to be pushed by wind energy, directing wind energy into other vanes of the Wind Drum, or to become neutral to wind energy allowing minimal resistance to wind energy. These changes of the wind vane angles allows for maximum efficiency in converting wind energy into mechanical energy.
