Windmills may rotate by being "pushed" by the wind(drag) or by using aerodynamic forces such as "lift"... [and] may rotate around a vertical or a horizontal axis.... The Darreus windmill is a vertical axis aerodynamic type. It was invented in France in the 1930s and is currently being developed for manufacture in Canada. It has one or more curved flexible blades of airfoil design, shaped to a curve that is consistent with the centrifugal and aerodynamic forces it experiences in rotation. It is not self-starting, but a small Savonius rotor can be attached to its central axis to provide this feature. 1, record 5, English, - Darreus%20windmill

The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they rotate and impart energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and water wheels. Gas, steam, and water turbines have a casing around the blades that contains and controls the working fluid. 2, record 9, English, - turbine

Windmills have a wide range of possible applications.

Windmills therefore fall into different classes according to the value of tip speed ratio(TSR) at which they operate. Slow running windmills, like the common farm air turbine, may operate at TSR=1 or 2, and with the fastest running windmills, perhaps up to TSR=6 or 7.(...) In the case of horizontal shaft windmills, it [the fast running windmill] resembles an ordinary propeller with rather wide blades, whereas a slow running windmill must be fitted with a large number of blades. 1, record 19, English, - slow%20running%20windmill

Slow running windmills,(...) may operate at TSR=1 or 2, and with the fastest running windmills, perhaps up to TSR=6 or 7.
