Station for collecting wind energy comprised of a hollow column (1) including from top to bottom: a collecting housing (9) provided with inlet flaps (10), a transfer housing (12) including the driving elements (6) which drive through shafts (7) and (20) the operating members (8), an evacuation housing (16) provided with outer flaps (11). The arrows indicate the direction of circulation of airflow inside the station. The inner flaps (10) exposed to the wind open under the action of the latter which maintains the other flaps closed. The outer flaps (11) positioned out of the wind open under the action of the residual pressure remaining after acting on the driving members (6), whereas the other flaps are kept closed under the wind pressure. Safety valves (3) are provided for preventing any prejudicial overpressure. The station includes starting means for the driving elements under light wind and means for regulating the airflow.
