  • the generator 20 may efficiently utilize wind flow to rotate the rotor 28 and generate electrical power by way of the respective generators .
  • FIGURE 16 there is illustrated a condition of the rotor 28 wherein the blades 80 are disposed in positions corresponding to a so-called full stall condition wherein blade "lift” forces and a net resultant force acting on the rotor by wind flowing through the duct inlet 26 in the direction of arrow 65 will not effect rotation of the rotor.
  • This may be provided as one limit position of the cam 92 as it is rotated by the drive motor 102.
