Savonius Turbine

A Savonius turbine is a type of wind energy device that captures wind, converting it into rotational power. It consists of two or three vertically upright scoops or blades, shaped like curved shells, arranged around a central axis. When wind strikes the scoops, it causes the rotor to spin due to differences in air pressure, generating mechanical energy. Savonius turbines are simple, cost-effective, and effective at low wind speeds, making them suitable for small-scale power generation and ventilation. They are particularly appreciated for their reliability and ability to work well in turbulent or unpredictable wind conditions.
