The present invention is a wide blade multiple generator wind turbine, which produces electrical energy by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind to rotate multiple generators. Unlike traditional wind turbines, the present invention uses wide blades to focus on producing more torque rather than rotational speed. The wide blades are concentrically attached to a large drive wheel. The drive wheel is engaged to each of the generators and must be large enough to properly transfer the torque produced by the wide blades to the generators. The present invention could either position the generators concentrically around the drive wheel, which would directly engage the drive wheel to the generators, or position the generators laterally along the base structure, which would engage the drive wheel to the generators through a belt-and-pulley system or a chain-and-gear system. In addition to harnessing wind power, the present invention is design to absorb solar energy through the surface of the wide blades.
