How do Darrieus wind turbines differ from Brush wind turbines?
Darrieus wind turbines have a vertical axis and rely on lift forces to spin the blades, while Brush wind turbines have a horizontal axis and capture wind with a larger rotor diameter. Darrieus turbines are typically smaller and better suited for urban environments, while Brush turbines are larger and more efficient for utility-scale applications.
Why does a typical small helicopter with a single rotor have a second small rotor on its tail?
The small rotor on the tail, called the tail rotor, counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor of the helicopter. Without the tail rotor, the helicopter would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the main rotor. The tail rotor helps maintain the helicopter's balance and heading.
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
Why don't helicopters spin in circles?
The back rotor of the helicopter counters the force applied to the body of the helicopter by the main rotor by applying thrust in the same direction as the main rotor. The force from the main rotor is applied in the opposite direction the main rotor is spinning. So say the force the main rotor was exerting on the body of the helicopter was causing the tail to move left then the back rotor would be designed to apply an equal force pushing the tail right to keep it from spinning. If the back rotor of a helicopter malfunctioned it would begin to spin.
The rotor blade on the side of the helicopter that moving in the opposite direction?
The tail rotor is moving "perpendicular" to the main rotor, not "opposite". The tail rotor creates thrust opposite to the thrust of the main rotor, to keep the fuselage from spinning. Most helicopters spin the main rotor counter-clockwise looking from above, which puts a clockwise rotation on the fuselage. You need a tail rotor pushing the tail counter-clockwise to keep the fuselage pointed in the direction the pilot chooses.
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.

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.
