A wind driven prime mover which is driven by a plurality of arcuately shaped wind vanes pivotally mounted on a rotatable turntable. The wind vanes are pivotally mounted on the turntable with their pivot axle disposed in a vertical plane. The pivots are positioned adjacent the periphery of the turntable, with the pivots being spaced equi-distant from each other and equi-distant from the axis of rotation of the turntable. The bottoms of the vanes are arcuately shaped, with the length of the arc being slightly longer than the space between the pivots so that there is an overlap between adjacent vanes. The convex surface of the vanes face outwardly to provide a concave inner surface.

In a wind driven power producing apparatus, a wind driven prime mover comprising a rotatable circular turntable having an axial (shaft) rotatably mounted on a fixed base, a plurality of arcuate shaped wind vanes automatically opened and closed solely by wind action, said vanes being pivotally mounted on the turntable (at right angles) parallel to the axis of rotation of the turntable, said pivots being located substantially centrally between the outside edge and inside edge of the vane, the vanes being of a length that in a closed position the (leading) inside edge of one vane will (overlap) underlie the (trailing) outside edge of the preceding vane and (stop means limiting the pivot movement of the vanes to an) in the open position in response to the wind velocity the inside edge will engage against the axial shaft.
