Abstract

Abstract: A new wind turbine design has been developed by merging the lift-based Darrieus and drag-based Savonius designs. The Darrieus design is highly efficient but has uneven torque distribution, while the Savonius design has a self-starting mechanism but lower efficiency. The new design uses helically twisted Darrieus blades for even torque distribution and halfdrum Savonius blades for self-starting. The turbine was tested for various wind speeds and found to perform better than the individual designs. This increased efficiency allows for more power generation with the same amount of wind energy, and the elimination of the need for external motors reduces production and maintenance costs. This innovative design has the potential to revolutionize the wind turbine industry and provide a sustainable source of energy for the future.
