Abstract
A wind turbine assembly for covering wind energy into electrical energy includes a housing that is positioned adjacent to a roadway. An intake chute is integrated into the housing and the intake chute is oriented to face oncoming traffic on the roadway thereby facilitating the intake chute to direct wind produced by the oncoming traffic into the housing. A wind turbine is rotatably disposed within the intake chute such that the wind turbine is rotated by the wind produced by the oncoming traffic. A generator is positioned in the housing and the generator is in mechanical communication with the wind turbine. The generator is rotated when the wind turbine rotates to convert wind energy into electrical energy.
