Darrieus rotor, a few advantages and many disadvant Darrieus rotor, a few advantages and many disadvantages KD 215

The Darrieus rotor is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) provided with two or more blades having an aerodynamic airfoil. The blades are normally bent into a chain line and are connected to the hub at the upper and lower side. However, also Darrieus rotors with straight blades (H-Darrieus) have been developed which therefore have large hubs provided with spokes. The energy is taken from the wind by a component of the lift force L working in the direction of rotation. The same principle is used for a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT).
