This is WPS 2000 Inc.'s VAWT at our field test site. It is starting to spin at wind speeds of 3 m/s with our no cogging coreless generator. The five-blade vane system shown is for trial purposes only as the blades do not have the right dimensions for our application and were only used because the...

This video shows the use of a genetic algorithm to develop VAWT wind turbine blades. One of the resulting blades is quite different and seems to simulate well. The breeding software was written in Perl, the display software Java, and the CFD software was OpenFoam. More than 672 CPU ...

Been waiting for some wind to get some data. This points up a concern. If average winds are 5-10 mph then it would be better to design this VAWT to do work in these winds. The next step is to place the 24 magnets on the 2' perimeter of the rotor and align 18 coils on a 2' stator. This is somethin...

Had very strong winds of 15-30 mph. With no load the turbine spun up to 300 rpm. The batteries started at 11.8 vdc. They aren’t the best of shape. This was a reality check for me. The true output is maybe 60 watts - but that's ok. The next step is to increase the diameter of the rot...

are developed number of high efficient JET designs. By turbine rotation is forming axial vortex. The centrifugal forces forced flow radially to the JET channels of the blade periphery. The jet channels accelerated flow and created jet streams behind each blade. Jet streams cause jet force in oppo...

10 kW VAWT - quiet, vibration free, starts at 2m/s wind and is rated at 11m/s. The video was taken @ 3.5 m/s as reported from the Environment Canada station at Windsor Airport
