- a wind mill having a rotating shaft with radially and linearly extending arms, the latter having ends defining substantially circular openings, said shaft being disposed on a fast moving conveyance;
- generator means connected to said rotating shafts of said wind mill for causing electricity to be generated;
- means for charging and storing the generated electricity, and being connected to said generator means;
- said wind mill includes a plurality of substantially bowl-like wings disposed in said circular openings, respectively, and including a bottom plate provided at a bottom edge portion of each of said wings;
- a hinge disposed on each of said ends of said arms adjacent a radially innermost portion of said circular openings and pivotally connecting said wings to said arms at a radially innermost portion of said wings, respectively, said wings having a radially outermost free end adjacent a radially outermost portion of said circular openings, said wings being pivotable in an opening direction constituting a direction outwardly relative to the interior of the bowl-like wings and uncovering said circular openings, and said wings closing said circular openings when pushed in a direction towards the inside of said bowl-like wings and abutting said bottom plate, whereby further pivoting in the latter direction is prevented;
