Abstract
A wind power system is provided including at least one generator fan having a front face and a rear face. The system also includes a first wind capturing device positioned proximate to the front face. The wind capturing device can be configured to capture wind to create a first pressure proximate to the front face that is greater than a second pressure proximate to the rear face. The pressure difference causes the captured wind to flow across the at least one generator fan from the front face to the rear face.
