Abstract
The present invention teaches a vertical axis wind turbine including a base structure; a yaw system secured to the base structure; a rotatable turbine main body secured to the yaw system, a main shaft rotor including a plurality of vertical rotor blades secured to the main shaft rotor for the collection of wind energy located within the turbine main body, and an electrical control system to control the yaw system. The turbine main body includes a single spiral stator having a single vertically aligned opening. The yaw system rotates the rotatable turbine main body to align or not align the single vertically aligned opening with the wind.

A vertical axis wind turbine comprising:
- a base structure;
- a yaw system secured to said base structure;
- a rotatable turbine main body secured to said yaw system, comprising a single spiral stator having a single vertically aligned opening;
- an electrical control system to control the yaw system;
- a main shaft rotor including a plurality of vertical rotor blades secured to said main shaft rotor for the collection of wind energy located within the turbine main body;
- a control enclosure;
- an upper rotor;
- an upper gearbox generator;
- an upper rotor support unit;
- and
- an upper gearbox enclosure unit;
- wherein said yaw system rotates said rotatable turbine main body to align or not align the single vertically aligned opening with the wind, wherein the upper rotor support unit is secured to a top portion of the rotatable turbine main body and houses the upper rotor, wherein the upper gearbox enclosure unit is secured to a top portion of the upper rotor support unit and houses the upper gearbox generator, and wherein the control enclosure is secured to a top portion of the upper gearbox enclosure unit.
