Abstract
A wind turbine includes: a first rotor, a frame, and a first generator. The first rotor includes a hub and at least one blade extending from the hub. The first rotor is configured to rotate as wind engages the at least one blade. The frame is configured to at least partially receive the first rotor therein. The first generator is configured to generate electrical power from rotation of the first rotor, and includes at least one magnet and a conductor coil. One of the at least one magnet and conductor coil is coupled to the first rotor and configured to rotate therewith, and the other one of the at least one magnet and the conductor coil is fixed relative to the frame, such that rotation of the first rotor causes relative movement between the conductor coil and the at least one magnet.

-26. (canceled)
A wind turbine comprising:
- a first rotor comprising a hub and at least one blade extending from the hub, the first rotor configured to rotate as wind engages the at least one blade;
- a frame configured to at least partially receive the first rotor therein;
- and
- a first generator configured to generate electrical power from rotation of the first rotor, the first generator comprising at least one magnet and a conductor coil,
- wherein one of the at least one magnet and conductor coil is coupled to the first rotor and configured to rotate therewith, and the other one of the at least one magnet and the conductor coil is fixed relative to the frame, such that rotation of the first rotor causes relative movement between the conductor coil and the at least one magnet.
A funnelling system configured to direct air flow and comprising:
- a wind turbine;
- a collection tray;
- and
- at least one outlet configured to direct air collected by the collection tray,
- wherein the wind turbine comprises:
- a first rotor comprising a hub and at least one blade extending from the hub, the first rotor configured to rotate as wind engages the at least one blade;
- a frame configured to at least partially receive the first rotor therein;
- and
- a first generator configured to generate electrical power from rotation of the first rotor, the first generator comprising at least one magnet and a conductor coil,
- wherein one of the at least one magnet and conductor coil is coupled to the first rotor and configured to rotate therewith, and the other one of the at least one magnet and the conductor coil is fixed relative to the frame, such that rotation of the first rotor causes relative movement between the conductor coil and the at least one magnet.
