2. Panemone windmill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panemone_windmill

   A diagram of a panemone whose wind-catching panels are arranged to turn edge-on to the wind when moving against the wind's thrust, and side-on when moving downwind to harness the wind's motion. A panemone windmill is a type of vertical-axis wind turbine. It has a rotating axis positioned vertically, while the wind-catching blades move parallel ...

3. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

   The world's tallest vertical-axis wind turbine, in Cap-Chat, Quebec Vortexis schematic Vertical axis wind turbine offshore. A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator ...

4. Darrieus wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrieus_wind_turbine

   Fig. 1: A Darrieus wind turbine once used to generate electricity on the Magdalen Islands. The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from wind energy. The turbine consists of a number of curved aerofoil blades mounted on a rotating shaft or framework.

5. Turby wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turby_wind_turbine

   The turbine consists of three vertical symmetrical airfoil blades, each having a helical twist. The helical feature spreads the torque evenly over the entire revolution, thus preventing the destructive pulsations of the straight-bladed giromill (Darrieus turbine). The wind pushes each blade around on both the windward and leeward sides of the ...

6. Windmill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill

   The windmills at Kinderdijk in the village of Kinderdijk, Netherlands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A windmill is a structure that converts wind power into rotational energy using vanes called sails or blades, by tradition specifically to mill grain (), but in some parts of the English-speaking world, the term has also been extended to encompass windpumps, wind turbines, and other applications.
