Abstract

A wind powered generator that includes first and second current generators arranged to generate electric current in response to relative rotation between the two current generators. At least one rotary part having vanes is operatively connected to one of the first and second current generators and arranged to rotate in a first direction around an axial shaft when exposed to a flow of air perpendicular to the shaft. The axial shaft is configured to receive electrical connections therethrough. The electrical connections are configured to provide an electrical connection between the current generators and an electrical generator.
