Abstract
Vertical-axis turbines drag and lift coefficients were studied and it was determined that vertical-axis turbines cannot equal horizontal-axis machines in efficiency because the angle of attack of the horizontal-axis turbine can be varied to suit conditions. The best hope for vertical-axis wind turbines lies in concentrating on the regions where complete extraction is theoretically possible and looking for a blade profile that will most nearly match the lift and drag curves.
