Wind rotating apparatus and wind power generator

Abstract

A wind rotating apparatus capable of efficiently generating electric power even in the case of slight wind or the like, and a wind power generator equipped with wind rotating apparatus. Wind rotating apparatus includes: wind collection unit for introducing wind through inlet port, collecting and discharging wind through outlet port; sirocco fan which rotates about an axis by virtue of air discharged from outlet port of wind collection unit; rotary shaft provided coaxially with sirocco fan; planetary gear mechanism for transmitting rotation of sirocco fan to rotary shaft while increasing its rotation speed. Since a permanent magnet is provided on rotary shaft and coil is provided on lower casing, even if rotation speed of sirocco fan is low in the case of slight wind or the like, rotation speed of rotatary shaft can still be increased.
