AI summary

A wind power generation device includes a rotor assembly and a stator. The rotor assembly includes a rotating member, a first magnetic module, and a second magnetic module the latter two of which are fixed on the rotating member. The rotating member has a column and a spiral blade connected to the column. The first and second magnetic modules are arranged outside the spiral blade and face each other. The rotor assembly defines an annular gap formed around the spiral blade and between the first and second magnetic modules. The stator assembly includes a frame, a positioning member connected to the frame, and an induction module fixed on the positioning member and arranged in the annular gap. The spiral blade can rotate the rotator assembly relative to the stator assembly by wind, so that a region between the first and second magnetic module sweeps over the induction module.
