Abstract
A compound-type wind power generator capable of increasing the size of Magnus wind turbine by disposing a propeller wind turbine with the Magnus wind turbine and increasing the amount of electric power generation. The compound-type wind power generator includes a propeller wind turbine; a Magnus wind turbine with perpendicular center shafts and a bevel gear mechanism; generators driven by the horizontal rotation shaft of the Magnus wind turbine and the horizontal rotation shaft of the propeller wind turbine; and connection shafts for fixing the outer end of the perpendicular center shaft of each Magnus wind turbine to an adjacent propeller blade. The horizontal rotation shafts of the propeller wind turbine and of the Magnus wind turbine have a double shaft structure in which one of the horizontal rotation shafts is formed by a cylindrical portion and the other one is axially inserted through the cylindrical portion with a play therebetween.
