3. Darrieus wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrieus_wind_turbine

   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. The curvature of the blades allows the blade to be stressed only in tension at high rotating speeds. There are several ...

4. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

   Furthermore, the blades of the Darrieus wind turbine can be shaped into a helix to reduce the torque ripple effect on the turbine by spreading the torque evenly over the revolution. Being lift-type devices, the Darrieus wind turbines can extract more power from the wind than drag-type wind turbines, such as the Savonius wind turbine.

5. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   Offshore Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) at Scroby Sands Wind Farm, England Onshore Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China. Large three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the blades upwind of the tower (i.e. blades facing the incoming wind) produce the overwhelming majority of wind power in the world ...

6. 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.
