Abstract
A wind turbine assembly comprising a cantilever support, a rotor assembly having a rotor hub rotatably coupled to the cantilever support, and a plurality of rotors radially arranged about and coupled to the rotor hub is provided. Each rotor includes a rotor arm defining an arm axis, a blade element, and an adjustment mechanism coupled between the rotor arm and the blade element. The blade element has a concave face portion and defines a target axis. The adjustment mechanism is movable between a first rake angle defined between the first arm axis and the target axis, and a second rake angle to position each of the blade elements relative to each other.

A wind turbine assembly comprising:
- a cantilever support;
- a rotor assembly having a rotor hub rotatably coupled to said cantilever support;
- and
- a plurality of rotors radially arranged about and coupled to said rotor hub, each rotor including
- a rotor arm with each rotor arm defining a first arm axis,
- a blade element coupled to said rotor arm opposite to said rotor hub, said blade element having a concave face portion and defining a target axis, and
- an adjustment mechanism arranged between a respective one of the rotor arms and a respective one of the blade elements, said adjustment mechanism moveable between a first rake angle defined between said first arm axis and said target axis, and a second rake angle to position the blade elements relative to each other.
