A wind oscillator configured for power generation is provided. The wind oscillator includes an upwardly oriented elongate rotatable support beam configured to rotate to enable the wind oscillator to be approximately oriented with respect to a wind direction, a bracket supported by the support beam, the bracket extending transversely and outward therefrom, a shaft operably connected to the bracket at a first end of the shaft, and a gear attached to a second end of the shaft. The wind oscillator further includes an oscillating arm pivotably disposed approximately atop of said support beam, wherein the shaft is disposed upon the oscillating arm, and the oscillating arm being configured to move upwardly and downwardly with respect to the support beam in a reciprocating arrangement, an elongate transverse bar supported by a first end of the oscillating arm, elongate first and second wing bars oriented transversely with respect to the elongate transverse bar, wherein the oscillating arm, the elongate transverse bar, and the wing bars are on approximately a same plane, and a leading wing rotatably connected to and extending between the first and second wing bars.
