Abstract
A wind power generator comprising a vertically disposed support post having a support assembly rotatably mounted thereon which extends horizontally laterally therefrom. A plurality of vertically spaced rotor assemblies are rotatably mounted on the support assembly and are connected to an electrical generator so that electrical energy is generated as the rotors are rotated by wind. A wind deflector is mounted on each of the rotor assemblies for directing the wind towards to the rotor blades at a more efficient angle. The deflector also shields a portion of the rotor blades so that the wind is prevented from inhibiting the rotation of the rotor assembly. The rotor assemblies are maintained in a direction facing the wind by means of an adjustable stabilizer assembly.
