Abstract
Abstract A machine and method for converting the wind's linear force to electricity, comprising of a rotor, walled at both inner and periphery radiuses, encircled by a periphery deflector and its inner radius covered with a core deflector. Tapping means attached to the back planar base of its plurality of rotor vanes and rotably associated with plurality of reciprocating generators. Rotation speed and generating electricity regulated by operating means, mounted to its axis.
