Zusammenfassung:A wind turbine for use in the generation of electricity employs a generator which enables the efficient production of DC electrical power through the use of a low and variable speed and variable torque design. This design eliminates the cost and complexity of variable pitch turbine blades and/or mechanical gear boxes. The design includes a large diameter axial flux generator which utilizes either permanent magnets or current induced field coils. The design preferably employs an equal number of armature coils and field coils or permanent magnets in the case of single phase operation or 1 field coils or permanent magnets for every armature coil for three phase operation. The three phase operation can also be accomplished by using three separate rotor disks on the generator with appropriate indexing of the rotor disk and armature coils.
