Wind-driven electricity generation device with segmented rotor

A method of constructing a wind-driven electrical generator turbine, comprising:

• providing an electrical generator;
• installing a rotatable, elongated shaft to the electrical generator;
• installing a plurality of blade segments onto the shaft to form a rotor, each of said blade segments comprising:
• a sleeve comprising at least two upper struts extending from a first portion of the sleeve and at least two lower struts extending from a second portion of the sleeve, the sleeve further comprising an aperture sized and shaped to install onto the elongated shaft;
• and
• at least two blades that are positioned in a fixed relationship with respect to one another, each of the at least two blades attached to the at least two upper struts and the two lower struts;
• wherein electricity is generated by the wind-driven electrical generator in response to rotation of the elongated shaft as a result of air flowing against the rotor.

A segmented rotor for use in a wind-driven electrical turbine, comprising:

• a plurality of rotor blade segments, each of the rotor blade segments configured for installation over a shaft that is connected to an electrical generator, each of the plurality of rotor blade segments comprising:
• a sleeve comprising at least two upper struts extending from a first portion of the sleeve and at least two lower struts extending from a second portion of the sleeve, the sleeve further comprising an aperture sized and shaped to install onto the elongated shaft;
• and
• at least two blades that are positioned in a fixed relationship with respect to one another, each of the at least two blades attached to the at least two upper struts and the two lower struts.
