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. 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 ...

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. 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 .

6. Windstar turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windstar_turbine

   Array in Palm Springs. The Windstar vertical-axis turbine is a lift-type device with straight blades attached at each end to a central rotating shaft.Windstar turbines were invented by Robert Nason Thomas and developed by Wind Harvest International, Inc., formerly the Wind Harvest Company, based in Point Reyes, California.
