A wind turbine mountable to a motor vehicle preferably includes a wind blade, a turbine housing, an electrical generator and an electrical power converter. The wind blade preferably includes a plurality of blade elements, a top plate, a bottom plate and a support shaft. The turbine housing includes a turbine base plate, a turbine top plate and a peripheral side wall. A top shaft rotary bearing is retained in the turbine top plate. The electrical generator includes a generator rotor and a generator stator. The generator rotor is retained in the base plate. The bottom shaft thrust bearing is retained in the turbine base plate. The generator stator is mounted to the turbine base plate. The electrical leads of the generator stator are connected to an input of the electrical power converter. The electrical power converter converts the 120 volt AC signal to a suitable DC voltage.
