  • Patent number: 4080100
    Abstract: A wind motor having a double set of rotor blades of special configuration mounted between a central hub and an outer rim. The front rotor has an extending shroud protruding well in front of the blades for capturing the prevailing wind. The center of the rotor is solid with the blades at the center being configured so as to be substantially at right angles to the wind flow and thus form a substantially solid area at the center of the rotor. The specially configured blades angle away from the center hub with a backward tilt of approximate 10.degree.. Also, the blades twist so that the portion attached to the rim or shroud of the device present an air foil effect with tip structure for the leading edge being approximately 45.degree. from the axis while the trailing edge is similarly at approximately a 45.degree. angle in the opposite plane.
