Abstract

The wind turbine is the best clean energy technology on land. The prior art of the wind powered turbine involves large towers and access to high winds and open land. Those blades require technological maintenance, sometimes of a high order. Large turbines serve well the purpose to provide whole communities of people with electric power. However, he wind turbine here provided needs no tower, high winds nor open acres. The appliance adapts to vertical or horizontal placement. It can be located on or near the ground on any surface stable enough to hold it. Its unique sail design takes advantage of small winds. The maintenance can be done by any competent mechanic. In the long run, the windmill turbine may pay for itself with electric economy and may begin to pay the owner from the grid.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A Safety Enclosure of Bolted Rectangular or Cubical construction with Mesh Covering that structurally holds and contains and supports the rotating group of the windmill appliance so that said mesh covered enclosure acts as a safety enclosure with supports for angular placement of the axis of the front of the sails ranging from the horizontal to the vertical with the enclosure having hinged locking gates to prevent unauthorized entry. 
     
     
         2 . All Edges of the Sail or Sails are Curved including the projecting reverse curved tip or tips and at least two curved sail bases that end in curves to distribute stress around the bases' bolts so that the said sails capture or collect and efficiently use energy from a breeze or wind and are configured to distribute the breeze or wind with quiet balance and less turbulence around the sails to make a smoother rotation of the splined shaft and thus to smooth the rotation of the generator. 
     
     
         3 . All openings in the Sails mentioned here in no.  2 . are Curved and so configured to distribute the breeze or wind to the next opening and sail so as to produce a substantially more even distribution of wind energy; further the openings are configured to adjust the line of attack by the breeze or wind through the shared dynamics of the said openings and the sails as mentioned here in no.  2 )
