- The rotor, that need not weight very much, turns around a stick, that is part of the WindFollower (color green). The WindFollower turns where the wind blows it. So it offers the proper direction for the rotor to turn in. The generator is mounted on the same WindFollower, so is the rope tensioner. The WindFollower can easily be lifted off the stick on which it can turn when following the wind. It can be lifted off for upkeep of the rotor with its sails or the all the parts take care for the transmission of the force by the rope drive.
