Wind-powered electricity generator
A building 10 comprises a building structure and a wind-powered electricity generator 22. The building structure defines a first air flow path which extends from a first inlet end 40 to the generator at a first outlet end 42; the cross-sectional area of the first air flow path is smaller at the first outlet end than the first inlet end such that the air flow path narrows, so the building structure acts to funnel wind flowing towards the generator and thereby increase the wind speed incident on the generator. The building may define a second air flow path that extends from a second inlet end to the generator. The air flow path(s) may be defined by a roof 12 of the building. The building may be a car port. The generator may comprise a horizontal axis wind turbine or a vertical axis wind turbine.
