| x Savonius wind turbine |
|
Vertical-axis wind turbine |
Savonius wind turbines are a type of vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), used for converting the power of the wind into torque on a rotating shaft. They were invented by the Finnish engineer Sigurd J. Savonius in 1922. Johann Ernst Elias Bessler ...

| x Darrieus wind turbine |
|
Vertical-axis wind turbine | Turby wind turbine |
The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from the energy carried in the wind. The turbine consists of a number of aerofoils usually--but not always--vertically mounted on a rotating shaft...

|
Savonius wind turbine |
Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft runs traverse to the flow streamlines, as Darrieus described in his US Patent 1835018. When one chooses to set that axis from ground to the zenith for a...

| x Quietrevolution wind turbine |
|
Vertical-axis wind turbine |
The Quietrevolution is a brand of (VAWT) vertical axis helical turbine. The helical design is most similar to the Gorlov helical turbine, both are an evolution of the Darrieus wind turbine. It has won several awards including the "Sustainable...

| x Turby wind turbine |
|
Darrieus wind turbine |
The Turby is a brand of vertical-axis Darrieus wind turbine. The three vertical aerofoil blades have a helical twist of 60 degrees, similar to Gorlov's water turbines .
The turbine consists of three vertical symmetrical airfoil blades, each having a...

| x Windstar turbine |
|
Vertical-axis wind turbine |
The Windstar vertical-axis turbine is a lift-type device with straight, extruded aluminum blades attached at each end to a central rotating shaft and are operated as Linear Array Vortex Turbine Systems (LAVTS). Vertical-axis rotors each with their...

| x Maglev windmills |
A Maglev wind turbine or Maglev windmill (Chinese: 磁悬浮风力发电机组) uses magnetic levitation to replace conventional bearings in the design of a wind turbine. A recent design was developed in China by Guangzhou Energy Research Institute under the Chinese...

| x Airborne wind turbine |
An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine that is supported in the air without a tower. Airborne wind turbines may operate in low or high altitudes; they are part of a wider class of airborne wind energy systems (AWE) addressed...

| x Floating wind turbine |
|
A floating wind turbine is a wind turbine mounted on a floating structure that allows the turbine to generate electricity in water depths where bottom-mounted towers are not feasible. The wind can be stronger and steadier over water due to the...

| x Compact wind acceleration turbine |
Compact Wind Acceleration Turbines (CWATs) are a class of wind turbine that uses structures to accelerate wind before it enters the wind generating element. The concept of these structures has been around for decades but has not gained wide...
