Vertical axis wind turbine

UGE raises the bar for vertical axis micro wind turbines with launch of new VisionAIR3 turbine.

Wind is captured by the fabric blades which turn the steel axis.

The Silent Wind wind generator is designed for battery charging by converting wind energy into electricity.🔋⚡ The generator has been developed and produced for use in harsh environments. Wind turbines convert kinetic energy into clean electricity. When the wind spins the turbine's blades, a rotor captures the kinetic energy of the wind and converts it into rotary motion to drive the generator. A small wind system can be connected to the electric grid through your power provider, or it can…

You may have seen this photo online recently of EDF’s floating offshore vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) called “Vertiwind.” It has a nameplate capacity of two megawatts. The Vertiwind will be part of EDF-EN’s offshore wind farm project called Inflow, which the European Commission is helping fund. The strange design piqued my curiosity about VAWTs. Why…

Big wind farms have been blocked in Ohio by key lawmakers, but smaller turbines deployed as "distributive generation" producing power used on the spot by homes, farms and industry, are growing in number says the U.S. Department of Energy.

If you're looking for a cool alternative energy project - no doubt a very cool bonding project to share with the kids - then building this vertical axis wind turbine has got to be right up there. Just don't expect it to go powering your washing machine anytime soon (output is roughly estimated at 50 watts) - but hey, you've got to start somewhere right? The turbine is based on the use of 4 inch PVC pipes, cut in half, for the blades with the blades mounted on bicycle rims. The structure is…

VERTICAL-AXIS WIND TURBINE - diagram, schematic, and image 05

A 100-W helical-blade vertical-axis wind turbine was designed, manufactured, and tested in a wind tunnel. A relatively low tip-speed ratio of 1.1 was targeted for usage in an urban environment at a rated wind speed of 9 m/s and a rotational speed of 170 rpm. The basic dimensions were determined through a momentum-based design method according to the IEC 61400-2 protocol. The power output was estimated by a mathematical model that takes into account the aerodynamic performance of the NACA0018…
