Vertical axle windmill torque ring

A vertical axis Wind Turbine, comprising:

• a support structure for supporting the vertical axis Wind Turbine above ground level;
• at least one rotor for rotating upon the support structure, the at least one rotor comprising a horizontal structure having a rotational axis perpendicular to the ground level;
• wherein the support structure further comprises at least one circular Torque Ring member extending around the rotational axis of the at least one rotor;
• a plurality of blades positioned within each of the at least one rotor for causing the at least one rotor to rotate on the support structure responsive to a wind force, wherein at least one blade is missing within the at least one rotor;
• a plurality of Torque Ring mounting connectors for interconnecting each of the plurality of blades with the at least one circular Torque Ring member;
• at least one Jack Leg connector located within a position of the at least one blade missing within the at least one rotor between a first Torque Ring mounting connector and a second Torque Ring mounting connector, wherein the first Torque Ring mounting connector is located above the second Torque Ring mounting connector;
• and
• a plurality of vanes located on each of the plurality of blades, the plurality of vanes rotating between an open position to limit drag on the at least one rotor and a closed position that provides a rotational force to the at least one rotor, the plurality of vanes rotating between the open position and the closed position responsive to the wind force.
