  2. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

    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 ...

  3. Panemone windmill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panemone_windmill

    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 to the wind. By contrast, the shaft of a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) points into the wind while its blades move at right-angles to the wind's thrust. It is a rudimentary and inefficient ...

  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. Hi-VAWT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-VAWT

    Hi-VAWT’s services including vertical axis wind turbines (ranges from 300 to 3000 watts system), solar panels and hybrid street lights system. The DS-3000 wind turbine system currently is the only vertical axis wind turbine system that has been certified by Nippon Kaiji Kyokai [16] and qualify for Feed-in tariff application in Japan and Taiwan.

  6. Savonius wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savonius_wind_turbine

    Savonius wind turbines are a type of vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), used for converting the force of the wind into torque on a rotating shaft. The turbine consists of a number of aerofoils, usually—but not always—vertically mounted on a rotating shaft or framework, either ground stationed or tethered in airborne systems .

  7. Quietrevolution wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietrevolution_wind_turbine

    Quietrevolution (often stylized with lower-case "q": quietrevolution) is a brand of vertical-axis wind turbines owned since 2014 by Darrieus Ltd previously VWT Power Ltd in the United Kingdom. Quietrevolution's helical designs are related to the Gorlov turbine, which evolved from the Darrieus wind turbine.

  8. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    Vertical-axis wind turbines (or VAWTs) have the main rotor shaft arranged vertically. One advantage of this arrangement is that the turbine does not need to be pointed into the wind to be effective, [48] which is an advantage on a site where the wind direction is highly variable. It is also an advantage when the turbine is integrated into a ...

  9. Turby wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turby_wind_turbine

    The wind pushes each blade around on both the windward and leeward sides of the turbine. As with a Darrieus turbine, theoretically, there is no torque on a stationary turbine, due to symmetry of the turbine and of the blades. Starting is achieved by operating the generator as a motor. Torque is caused by a change in the apparent wind direction ...
