Abstract
Exemplary compact wind power generation systems are configured to be suitable for residential and other locations where concealed moving parts are desirable. The wind power generation systems utilize a propeller disposed behind a contracting inlet. The propeller blades may be oriented “into the wind” to develop consistent torque across a variety of wind speeds. The propeller may rim-drive power generation components, further reducing vibration, or may share a common rotational axis with the power generation components.
