I would have liked an idea of how much less efficient they are, and an insight into why that is. Thanks though, it's a good intro.
If reliability is the problem, can you be more specific? Is it a common condition due to the design?
Do you think VAWT would be better solution on a Solar Power Electric boat since they do not cast much shadow over the solar panels? I was thinking of a better solution for charging the battery banks in the night by using Wind Power to supplement the solar power.
Pardon for stupid question. But why not putting the VAWT axis horizontal ??
My understanding is that they are quite good for off grid projects and also smaller; is this correct?
How big area and height is needed to go for a 5 to 10KW vertical wind energy? Where to get assistant?
Which software use for this type of video
Is it feasible to shield the side of the turbine that is moving against the wind direction with a cover that deflects the wind to reduce the drag on that side
They use lift? Cool, but still don't really get it. But this has been the closest I get to understanding VAWTs. Thanks Man
How are VAWT's less efficient?
They can't be less reliable, they have only 2 ball bearings, whereas the yawt version has more moving parts.
How are they less efficient?
Great video on Wind Turbines, thank you.
Both have advantages and disadvantages.. The straight blade vertical designs are starting to become popular. Aluminium blades should have replaced fibreglass years ago.
Why less reliable?
Give Details of the unit and cost,
How can it be still in development? The Persians used it 3000 years ago. What is there to develop?
Nice
My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.
