Abstract

A micro wind generator array panel (100) includes a plurality of micro wind generators (200) each including an air passage (A) and a wind generator compartment (B). An impeller (B') protrudes from the wind generator compartment (B) into the air passage (A) in order to capture air moving through the air passage (A) and drives a generator. The impeller (B') has a diameter of less than one inch. Micro wind generators (200) may be arranged in a planar array, and the planar arrays may be stacked in order to produce arrays having a high density of micro wind generators (200). Micro wind generators (200) may also operate to self-align air passages (A) with a direction of air flow of the ambient wind.
