Wind power motor

A wind power motor comprises a rotor drum having a circumferential drum wall forming an open air inlet end and an open air outlet end. The drum wall has a wing profile-like axial cross-section, so that the drum wall is thicker at the air inlet end than at the air outlet end. A plurality of vanes are attached to the rotor drum. Each vane has a front end and a rear end, which is displaced in the circumferential direction of the rotor drum relative to the front end, so that the vane acts on the rotor drum with a torque when wind is blowing against the air inlet end of the rotor drum and hits the vane.
