The invention relates to a windpower machine for offshore use and for applications on buildings, on vehicle roofs, in ship masts and lamp posts inter alia, wherein embodiments are possible for different power ratings and said windpower machine can be used with relatively low investment costs and the least possible environmental impact. For this purpose, the vanes (4) are arranged, so as to be oriented in the direction of an axis of rotation (8) of the vane wheel, between at least in each case one upper and lower ring (5, 6), such that air can flow unhindered between the vanes (4) and a rear-side air passage is provided, which ensures a compact design, and the windpower machine can therefore be operated with high performance and over large wind speed ranges.
