Blade pitch regulating hub and speed regulating gear for wind driven power generators

A speed regulating gear for use in wind driven power generators, said speed regulating gear comprising:

• a main housing;
• a telescoping housing that extends out of and retracts into the main housing;
• an inner housing that acts a guide for the telescoping housing;
• a regulating spring located inside the telescoping housing;
• an input axle that passes through the telescoping housing;
• a conical gear located on the input axle;
• and
• a sliding gear assembly that engages the conical gear and transfers rotational power from the conical gear to an output gear assembly and an out put axle.

A wind driven power generator comprising:

• a blade pitch regulating hub;
• at least one blade connected to said blade pitch regulating hub;
• at least one axle connected to said blade pitch regulating hub;
• and
• a speed regulating gear connected to the at least one axle.

The wind driven power generator of claim 31 wherein said rack and pinion gear assembly further comprises:

• at least one rack gear located on the telescoping housing;
• at least one rack gear located on the sliding gear assembly;
• and
• at least one pinion gear located in-between the at least one rack gear located on the telescoping housing and the at least one rack gear located on the sliding gear assembly that transfers linear motion from the telescoping housing to the sliding gear assembly.
