Savonius wind turbines
TLDR
In this article, a wind turbine may be provided with two rotor assemblies having their curved turbine blades arranged so that the rotor assemblies are driven to rotate in opposing rotational directions in a Savonius wind turbine.Abstract:
A Savonius wind turbine includes a rotor assembly that rotates about a longitudinal axis. The rotor assembly includes at least two curved turbine blades extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and at least two support discs connected to the at least two curved turbine blades. At least one of the at least two support discs has at least one relief vent defined therein for allowing air to pass through the at least one support disc. The wind turbine may be provided with two rotor assemblies having their curved turbine blades arranged so that the rotor assemblies are driven to rotate in opposing rotational directions.read more

Hybrid energy recovery system
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for recovering energy from the natural and man made sources of wind, water and sunshine provides within a given local area wind and water and solar apparatuses for converting all three wind, Water and solar energies to electrical power to provide a reasonably steady supply of electrical power at all times.

Wind turbine system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an improved turbine used to convert wind into mechanical energy, more specifically, a long axis type of vertical-axis turbine allowing large columns of wind to be harnessed.

Wind dam electric generator and method
TL;DR: In this paper, a vertical axis windmill is provided where the amount of wind directed to the blades in the power producing part of rotation and the mechanical load of multiple generators is controlled by a feedback control to maintain a relatively constant rotational frequency of the shaft of the windmill.
