The concept of a rotary-winged device known as a gyromill is designed. Such a machine is intended to ascend and descend helicopter fashion on its tethers, and yet be capable of generating electricity in a suitable wind. The philosophy of the current design is discussed along with a description of basic construction. The machine consists of twin, eight foot diameter rotors to give an all-up weight of around 70 lb. Preliminary validation of the motor and rotor system was achieved and further experiments are planned.

It is a device to measure wind velocity. An amp meter or a volt meter is calibrated to register wind velocity.
The instrument consist of a coil of wire (armature) and a magnet at the other side of wind mill paddles.
A vain is installed at the top of all this to indicate wind direction.

Wow! didn't even know something like this existed! Cool! I sure hope this is viable. It should lower the cost of electricity. Here is a site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1248068.stm Here is another site for your perusal: http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/enviro/EnviroRepublish_182107.htm
Wow, plant some of these in the windy city and power the Ell. You could have farms of them, especially in the plains states, gets windy there a lot.
Hope this helps, good luck.
