Abstract
The present invention relates to a eolic converter tower (1) having an innovative concept wherein a rotary megastructure made of metal or other materials slides horizontally around a vertical reinforced concrete megatower having several levels and means by which these levels can rotate under the force of the wind and transmit this force to a steering wheel (52) and rack (60) assembly, which in turn transmits the force to several generator (38) sets, transforming wind energy into high-power electric energy.

1-42. (canceled)
An eolic converter tower, wherein various levels of rotary structures of steel or other materials slides horizontally around a vertical structure consisting of a reinforced concrete tower working together or independently rotating under the force of the wind and transmit this force to at least one steering wheel and at least one rack assembly, which in turn transmits the force to a plurality of generator sets located in the base of the converter or distributed in each rotary level, transforming wind energy into high-power electric energy;
- wherein the wind harnessing system is capable of transforming wind energy into rotational mechanical energy with 90% efficiency;
- wherein said system incorporates a set of devices capable of controlling the revolutions per minute of the steering wheel by extending or retracting the aerodynamic panels, opening or closing the aerodynamic panel louvers to increase or decrease the wind harnessing area, and by operating the starter motors and/or combustion engines.
