  2. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

    A vertical axis wind turbine has its axis perpendicular to the wind streamlines and vertical to the ground. A more general term that includes this option is a "transverse axis wind turbine" or "cross-flow wind turbine". For example, the original Darrieus patent, US patent 1835018, includes both options.

  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. 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 .

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Wind_power

    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.

  7. Turby wind turbine - Wikipedia
