Summary:A wind powered apparatus having a plurality of reciprocally pivotable centrally mounted members is disclosed. The extremities of each of these members support a vane. The two vanes of each member are set at right angles with respect to one another. In operation, the wind will engage, in turn, one vane of each of the members. As the vane is engaged, the force of the wind will tend to rotate the member. Rotation of the member will cause the engaged vane to pivot downwardly until it is normal to the force of the wind. The downward rotation of one vane will rotate the other vane upwardly whereby the other vane is parallel with the force of the wind. The disparate wind force on each of the opposed vanes on any given member will tend to cause the member to rotate about its mounting point. The rotation of the member about its mounting point will cause the mount itself to rotate.
