Abstract
An electrical power generator is provided which is a direct drive induction generator capable of being directly connected to the power grid for the creation of electrical power. The rotor of the induction generator is located along the outside periphery of the stator and the stator may be provided with a plurality of poles. The number of poles provided on the stator may be adjusted to obtain an optimal rotational speed required to generate power. Using this arrangement, a low cost, efficient, reliable and easy to build wind generator may be provided.
