An improved, self directing, horizontal axis wind turbine for conversion of wind energy into useful work including generation of electricity. The said wind turbine is comprised of a plurality of two or more blades mounted on a rotor assembly rotating in a conical path about the horizontal rotor shaft downwind from the support tower. The rotation of the blades caused by the wind is transmitted to an electric generator to produce electricity. The embodiment of the said wind turbine and the electric generator along with the attachments including the generator housing are mounted on the horizontal section of a vertical shaft which is supported with bearing assemblies on the support tower. The said turbine and the vertical section of the shaft freely rotating around the support tower in response to the direction of the wind.
Aérogénérateur d'axe horizontal, auto-orientable, amélioré, pour convertir l'énergie du vent en travail utile comprenant la génération d'électricité. Ledit aérogénérateur comprend une pluralité de deux pales ou plus montées sur un ensemble de rotor tournant en une trajectoire conique autour de l'arbre de rotor horizontal en aval de la tour de soutien. La rotation des pales causée par le vent est transmise à un générateur électrique pour produire de l'électricité. Le mode de réalisation dudit aérogénérateur et le générateur électrique ainsi que les accessoires comprenant le logement du générateur sont montés sur une section horizontale d'un arbre vertical qui est supporté avec les ensembles de palier sur la tour de soutien. Ledit aérogénérateur et la section verticale de l'arbre tournent librement autour de la tour de soutien en réponse à la direction du vent.
