Optimisation of vertical axis wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes
A practical Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWTs) based on a Darrieus rotor has been designed and tested and found to be capable of self-starting at wind speeds above 4m/s. The self-start feature has been achieved by replacing the usual symmetrical aerofoil

A Classroom Savonius Windmill [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
The Savonius or S-rotor windmill was introduced to the United States in 1924. The powershaft is located in the vertical plane rather than horizontally as in the traditional bladed Stuart windmill. This has several benefits.
