Abstract
A wind power generating system is disclosed. The wind power generating system comprises a plurality of blades to capture wind energy; a shaft coupled to the plurality of blades, and a power extractor for extracting power from the rotation of the plurality of blades. A rotation of the plurality of blades occurs in response to the captured wind energy, and a lift force is generated from the captured wind energy by the plurality of blades that is substantially along the shaft.
