1. A wind-driven generator system, comprising:

  • a rotatable shaft driven by a wind-driven rotation device; and

    at least three electric generators for providing an output current, with each of the at least three electric generators disposed at a different longitudinal location along the length of the rotatable shaft, and each of the at least three electric generators are rotationally driven simultaneously by the rotatable shaft, and wherein each electric generator includes a wheel having an outer circumference, wherein the outer circumference of the wheel rides along an outer circumferential surface of the rotatable shaft as the rotatable shaft rotates;

    a sensor for providing a measure related to a rotation speed of the wind-driven rotation device; and

    a control block for providing one or more electrical control signals to dynamically control the rotation speed of the wind-driven rotation device by dynamically controlling the output current that is generated by the at least three electric generators.
