Abstract
A multi-level support structure contains plural power driven turntables on each level and each turntable carries a plurality of wind powered electrical generator units which are pivotally secured to the turntable and electrically coupled in a power distribution system through slip ring elements. Each generator unit has a rudder or wind vane causing the driving blades to face the wind. The generating units are readily removable from their turntable supports for repair and replacement by functioning units. The plant may be sized for commercial or home application.
Claims4
In a wind powered electrical generating plant, supporting means having power distributing electrical conductor means, a mounting base fixed on the supporting means and having a dovetail socket, spring urged contacts on the mounting base electrically coupled with said electrical conductor means and being in communication with said dovetail socket, a pedestal having a dovetail base engageable removably in said dovetail socket, electrical contact elements in spaced relation on faces of said dovetail base and abutting said spring urged contacts of said mounting base when the dovetail base is disposed in said dovetail socket of the mounting base, at least one wind driven electrical generator rotatably mounted on said pedestal and having a connected rudder causing said generator to face into the wind, and conductor means in said pedestal electrically coupled with terminals of said generator and with said electrical contact elements.
