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 curved aerofoil blades mounted on a vertical rotating shaft or framework.

Why does a typical small helicopter with a single rotor have a second small rotor on its tail?
All helicopters have a tail rotor to stabilise them.
The main rotor on a helicopter creates what?
the main rotor creates lift.
What direction does a helicopter's rotors spin?
Depending on the make of the helicopter, some will rotate clockwise and others will rotate counter-clockwise. However, the main rotor and tail rotor will spin opposite of each other. If the tail rotor spins clockwise, the main rotor will spin counter-clockwise. The main rotor also spins for lift, the tail rotor for control.
Why don't helicopters spin around in the air?
Some helicopters feature a second rotor underneath the first rotor that counters the force applied to the body of the helicopter by applying thrust in the opposite direction of the main rotor. This stops the helicopter from spinning around. Others, instead of a second rotor underneath the first rotor have a back rotor that essentially does the same thing, which is provide a equal force to the first rotor preventing the helicopter from spinning =0
Where is the centre of pressure on the main rotor blade of a helicopter?
In the centre of the rotor hub.
What is an advantage associated with the darrieus rotor?
can utilize low wind speeds
When did Georges Jean Marie Darrieus die?
Georges Jean Marie Darrieus died in 1979.
When was Jeanne-Marie Darré born?
Georges Jean Marie Darrieus was born in 1888.
Why will the rotor of a wound-rotor motor not turn if the rotor circuit is left open with no resistance connected to it?
Because there is no current flowing in the rotor, and thus there is no magnetic field in the rotor, and thus there is no torque between the rotor and the field.
How do you measure the thickness of a rotor?
What is a rotor?
What is a helicopter blade called?
the blade is called rotor bladesThe rotor blades on top are called Main Rotor Blades, because they are the main source of lift for the helicopter. The smaller rotor blades on the tail are called Tail Rotor Blades.
What type of rotor is found in a universal motor?
Wound rotor and squirrel-cage rotor
What is the rotor head for?
The rotor head changes the angle of incidence of the rotor blades as they rotate.
What is difference of blocked rotor and locked rotor protection of motor?

How do you resurface a rotor?
The rotor will have to be removed from the car. It can be resurfaced by mounting it on a special machine that slowly removes metal from the rotor until the rotor is smooth.
Can you replace just one rotor?
Can I reuse a resurfaced brake rotor with a new rotor on a car
What happen to the rotor speed and rotor current when the mechanical load on an induction motor increases?
rotor speed will decrease....the rotor current wil increase.....
