Abstract

A wind turbine apparatus is disclosed, the apparatus comprising a generator and a substantially vertical shaft, the shaft being directly mounted to the generator for rotating the generator. At least one lightweight vane member is also provided. The at least one vane member is attached to the shaft to provide a twisted self starting rotor unit. An electronic control apparatus is provided for controlling the speed of rotation of the generator.
