Vertical-axis wind turbine
OverviewGeneral aerodynamicsTypesAdvantagesDisadvantagesResearchApplicationsExternal links
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 and gearbox to be located close to the ground, facilitating service and repair. VAWTs do not need to be pointed into the wind, which removes the need for wind-sensing and orie
