A novel small vertical axis wind turbine using delta-wing blades

We present a novel Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) that uses flat delta-wings instead of aerodynamically shaped blades with airfoil cross-sections. This choice lowers the manufacturing costs significantly. Furthermore, delta-wings have a good aerodynamic efficiency at low Reynolds-numbers compared...
