Abstract
A wind turbine for converting wind energy into electric energy using a primary and secondary pivotable wind rotor. The rotors of the wind turbine have a horizontal and a vertical axis. The secondary rotor rotates independently from the wind, enabling a continuous production of electric energy, which is advantageous in that the turbine overcomes drawbacks in intermittent wind speeds.
