A wind power converter comprising: a pair of rotatable turbines with elongated curved blades disposed within a rotatable housing on axially parallel shafts, the curvature of the blades of one turbine being opposite to the curvature of the blades of the second turbine so that wind passing between said turbines will rotate the turbines in opposite directions; the housing comprising shaft-supporting sections at the ends of the turbines, lateral sections connecting the end sections, a pair of wind deflectors disposed between the end sections and extending from adjacent edges of the lateral sections toward the midpoint between the turbines and terminating approximately the same distance from each other as the distance between the turbine shafts, and a pivotally mounted vertically disposed vane extending from a portion of the housing opposite to the wind deflectors; said rotatable housing being supported on a vertically disposed central shaft and on a plurality of beams radiating therefrom with the free end of each beam having at least one pair of flanged wheels engaging a peripheral annular track with one wheel of each pair in contact with the top of the track and the other wheel of each pair in contact with the bottom of the track; means for synchronizing the rotation of the turbines; and fluid pumping means operatively connected to the turbine shafts.
