A wind driven generator with counter-rotating armature and rotor is disclosed. In a first embodiment a rotor having magnets mounted thereon and an armature having windings disposed thereon are both coaxially mounted about a hollow pole. The hollow pole provides the structural support for maintaining the generator in a vertical attitude. Bearings are situated between the armature and pole, and between the rotor and the pole. A commutator and brushes is employed to conduct the power signal generated in the windings to electrical device. In a second embodiment, a rotor and armature are disposed about and rotatably mounted on a hollow pole as in the first embodiment with the hollow pole coaxially situated over a second vertical pole. The hollow pole is sized for sufficient clearance to allow the hollow pole to slide vertically on the second pole. A pulley and cable mechanism is employed so that the hollow pole and generator attached thereto may be easily raised for operation in higher velocity winds yet readily lowered for servicing and maintenance thereof.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A wind driven generator comprising:a vertically oriented stationary pole;commutator means coaxially disposed coaxially about and attached to said pole and including a first metal ring and a second metal ring, wherein said first metal ring and said second metal ring encircle said pole;armature means coaxially disposed about said pole in close proximity to said commutator means, said armature means including a winding having a first lead and a second lead, said armature means further including a first brush and a second brush, said first brush situated to make contact with said first metal ring and said second brush situated to make contact with said second metal ring, and wherein said armature means includes first bearing means attached to and disposed between said armature means and said pole for reducing rotational friction;rotor means coaxially disposed about said pole and disposed radially outward of and in close proximity to said armature means, said rotor means including a plurality of magnets situated adjacent said winding and producing a plurality of flux fields that impinge upon said winding when said rotor means rotates about said pole, and wherein said rotor means includes second bearing means attached to and disposed between said rotor means and said pole for reducing rotational friction;first wind collecting means attached to said armature means for collecting wind and inducing said armature means to rotate with respect to said pole; andsecond wind collecting means attached to said rotor means for collecting wind and inducing said rotor means to rotate in a direction opposing the direction of rotation of said armature means.
