An experimental investigation on the effect of surface roughness on the performance of Magnus wind turbine

Wind turbine that used airfoil-shaped blades cannot harvest wind energy at low speed wind condition efficiently. A wind turbine that used Magnus effect is proposed to overcome the wind speed problem. Magnus wind turbine (MWT) performance can be further enhanced by using sanded surface on the rotatin...
