A vertical-axis wind turbine whose rotor runs through an aerodynamic lift exerted on its blades. 4, record 1, English, - lift%2Dtype%20wind%20turbine
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Wind turbine blades are essentially airfoils. When air flows past the blade, a wind speed and pressure differential is created between the upper and lower blade surfaces. The pressure at the lower surface is greater and thus acts to "lift" the blade. When blades are attached to a central axis, like a wind turbine rotor, the lift is translated into rotational motion. 5, record 1, English, - lift%2Dtype%20wind%20turbine
