Abstract
A wind turbine may include a discoidal chassis and at least one vane disposed on the discoidal chassis. The discoidal chassis can rotate about a central axis. The discoidal chassis has a first outermost surface with a pitch angle between the central axis and another axis orthogonal to the central axis. The vane is disposed on the first outermost surface. The vane has a concave surface to assist in rotation of the discoidal chassis about the central axis by harnessing wind energy.
