Windmill generator with linear to rotary actuator

A method of generating wind-based power, the method comprising:

• converting rotational motion from a wheel assembly of a windmill into a reciprocal motion;
• driving a shaft using the reciprocal motion;
• converting the reciprocal motion of the shaft into rotational motion:
• driving an input shaft of a generator using the converted rotational motion from the shaft;
• and
• generating electrical power via the generator.

A wind-based power generation system comprising:

• a controller configured to control the storage and usage of electrical energy generated by a generator driven by wind;
• and
• logic, stored on non-transitory, computer-medium, that, upon execution by one or more processors, causes performance of operations including:
• responsive to a determination that a power grid is not supplying power to a load, discharging a battery to provide power to the load;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the power grid is supplying power to the load, further determining if it is within a peak time and supply power to the load from the battery if it is within a peak power time.
