Abstract
A system and method of generating energy by transforming energy from a low-density substance, such as airflow or wind, into kinetic energy by directing the flow through a wind guide system towards panels that rotate in generally the same direction as the airflow. Furthermore, the system uses the ground and/or water as a surface for guiding the airflow towards the windmill devices. The system is made of lightweight, inexpensive tension compression construction. The tension compression system is weighted at the outermost ends of the wind-engaging panels to create a moment of inertia device capable of evening out the peaks typical of wind power generation.
