Abstract

A turbine wind energy generator structure comprises a turbine ventilator, a drive system, a transmission, a generator and a tower. The characteristics of the turbine wind energy generator lie in: the generation of electricity is driven by the drive system of the generator under the movement of air in chaotic vertical mass motions because of heating, the driving of chimney/stack effect and extrinsic breeze and the revolving energy resulting from the rotation of turbine ventilator because of the movement of air by way of the transmission for tuning up the rotation rate of the generator without excessive electric power, which can be stored in a battery of the generator. Therefore, the present invention enables a more economical method of utilization of wind energy to make better use of energy resources without causing to environmental pollution.
