Abstract

This invention relates to the harnessing of the wind, this can be done many different ways, but what is unique about my invention is that it has a vertical frame structure that rotates and has vertical luovers on one side of each arm of the windmill, they are free to move 180 degrees or less to minimize wind resistance when the luovers go against the wind, and when they rotate to the other side the wind blows them against the arm of the windmill thus blocking the wind on that side of the windmill creating a strong rotating force.

Claims

Claimes, The thing that makes this type of windmill work are the vertical luovers mounted on one side of the arm frame structure and are free to swing 180 degrees or less from side to side for minimum wind resistance, the luovers will always block the wind on one side of the windmill and open the other side and they will do this from all wind directions.
