Savonius wind turbine

A closer look at our half-scale VAWT impeller model, and an interesting phenomenon that occurs with certain symmetrical Savonius designs.The estimated wind s...

In this study, the performance, drag, and horizontal midplane wake characteristics of a vertical-axis Savonius wind turbine are investigated experimentally. The turbine is drag driven and has a helic...

Here's a design of a Savonius vertical axis wind turbine developed by a group of people and posted on Instructables under the username lisa-torstenson.

In this study, a square and a rectangular inlet cross-sectional wind router were designed as a performance enhancing mechanism in order to reduce or eliminate the flow on the convex blade rotating against the wind, which causes the low performance of Savonius wind turbines and analyzed numerically using the Ansys Fluent program. With this design, it was attempted to increase the turbine performance by reducing or eliminating the negative torque, which is created in the opposite direction, on…

Darrieus wind turbine

Wind Tulips' unique aerodynamic design makes them quiet, efficient and capable of producing electricity in clusters – and they look nice, too.
