DIY Vertical-axis wind turbine

Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft runs vertically. The advantages of this arrangement are that generators and gearboxes can be placed close to the ground, and that VAWT do not need to be pointed into the wind.

In the videos GREENPOWERSCIENCE demonstrates detailed steps of creating a DIY Vertical Axis Wind Turbine.
